TO FREEZE
In a large bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Remove (3 cups if cooking for 6 families or (1/2 cup if cooking for 1 family) for topping; set aside. Add eggs, Worcestershire sauce, cereal, and seasonings to remaining ketchup mixture; mix well. Let stand 5 minutes. Crumble beef over cereal mixture and mix well.
Press meat mixture into 18 muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each). Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes. Drizzle with reserved ketchup mixture; bake 10 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink. Freeze for up to 3 months.

About Monica
It all began on October 8th, 2008. Cathy and Monica started this coupon blog to help friends and family learn about their new money saving hobby couponing! Since then they have taught thousands of women (and men) 
For April Fool’s Day I made some of these and “frosted” them with dyed (with food coloring) mashed potatoes. My son really thought we were having cupcakes for dinner–surprise! It was fun.
I just made some of these tonight using turkey meat and they were so yummy! I think my DH will love them too, we are going to have them for dinner tomorrow.
We have made these several times, and the family loves them. We add frozen Spinach to sneak in the vegetable. This is a good way to get my daughter to eat her greens.
I use my Pampered Chef cookie scoop, and either bake in regular muffin pans, or use the mini muffin pans for bite-sized meatballs. Either way, it’s Yummy!
If you only put 1 cup Ketchup 1 tsp mustard and 4 T brown sugar in the large bowl how do you set aside 3 cups for topping??? You have me all turned around on this one. It’s the only recipie I have had any confusion on this website so far and it seems like it should be so simple. Maybe Im supposed to do 3 cups Ketchup but, that would be a lot of ketchup and not a lot left over into the meatloaf itself ater topping.
