Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 19 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 lb lean ground beef
Imperial – Metric

Instructions

  • Spray two, 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick spray; set aside. Mix together the bread crumbs, eggs, salsa, chili powder, oregano, onion powder and salt in a large bowl until everything is well combined. Add the black beans and ground beef and use your hands to mix everything together.
  • Form the mixture into 24 equal meatballs then place them into the two, 12 muffin cup pans. Use a damp hand to firmly press the meatballs down so they are flat on top.
  • Bake in a 400˚F oven for 20 minutes, testing that a digital instant-read thermometer reads 160˚F (70˚C) when inserted into the centre of several meatloaves. Remove from the oven and allow meat loaves to cool for 5 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the meatloaves from the pan, remove gently and serve with sour cream, salsa and grated cheese.
  • Store extra meatloaves covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or wrap each individually and freeze in sealed container for up to 3 months. To reheat from frozen: place in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until hot throughout or microwave for 3 to 4 minutes on HIGH until hot throughout.
