Meatloaf Muffins

Ok, so funny thing about this recipe.  Back when I was a kid, my mom made meatloaf on occasion.  One day she decided to make it in a muffin tin and frost them with ketchup like cupcakes.  We teased her about it for years because we thought she was a little cooky.  Turns out, it really is quite delicious recipe.  I have made this recipe several times already.  Guess my mom was on to something!
