Glazed Meatloaf Muffins

Meatloaves:
17-20 saltine crackers or breadcrumbs, crushed fine (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground meat (can use a combination of lean ground chuck and lean ground pork)
2 teaspoons oil (I used canola oil)

Glaze:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
4 teaspoons cider vinegar

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12-muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Stir cracker crumbs, milk, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, egg, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add ground meat and combine until uniform. Divide meat mixture evenly into muffin tins & make a small well in the center of each meatloaf to hold the glaze.

Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients together until smooth, then spoon the glaze over the top of each meatloaf. Bake for 20 minutes, until the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

Cheese Cake for a Crowd

1 box white cake mix
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese softened
2 TBS milk
4 cups powdered sugar
1 pint whipping cream (do NOT use cool whip)
1 package Danish dessert
2 pints frozen (or fresh) raspberries/strawberries/huckleberries, thawed

Make and bake cake mix. Whip together the cream cheese and milk. Then add powdered sugar and mix. In another bowl whip cream until stiff and add to the cheese mixture. Set aside.

Make the Danish Dessert recipe using 2 cups water and cool. Add berries to cooled Danish Dessert. Cool cake completely, spread cheese mixture on top of cake, then put fruit mixture on top. Refrigerate before eating.

If you don't have Danish Dessert mix on hand, you can make your own:

2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 package jello

Combine cornstarch and sugar; add water and bring to boil. Remove from heat; add jello (strawberry or raspberry depending on your berries) and stir until dissolved.
