Servings: persons

1 pound ground beef
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Mix ground beef, saltine crackers, onion, green bell pepper, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and seasoned salt together in a bowl.
3
Stir ketchup and brown sugar together in a bowl. Spoon ketchup mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup of a 6-cup muffin tin.
4
Fill muffin cups with beef mixture, leaving 1/2-inch space on the top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
