DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 12 muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside. (I use silicone or foil muffin liners, which I find work great, because they never stick! Or you could use a loaf pan if you prefer to make this recipe into a meatloaf.)

In a large bowl, combine everything except for the additional cheese. Divide mixture among muffin tins (about 1/4 cup per muffin tin), or put in a loaf pan.

Top each muffin with a sprinkle of additional cheese

Place the muffin tin in the pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes (or 45-55 minutes for loaf pan).

Topping:

1/4 cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese
