Mexican Meatloaf Minis

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
10 Ritz crackers (or similar), finely crushed
1 egg
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 c. Mexican style shredded cheese, divided
1 c. salsa, divided

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Mix first 6 ingredients with 1 cup of the shredded cheese and 1/2 cup salsa. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray, then press mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups.. Use the back of a measuring spoon to make an indentation in center of each. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Top with remaining salsa and cheese and bake 3-5 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted.

Result:
This would be great for kids and can be varied so easily! It was good, however, I'll leave out the onions next time (or precook them) as they were slightly crunchy because of the low cooking time.
