Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

2
Prepare the vegetables

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper and finely chop it.

3
Mix the meatloaf ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño pepper, tomato sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

4
Prepare the cornbread topping

In a separate bowl, mix together the cornbread mix, milk, and egg until well combined.

5
Assemble the meatloaf muffins

Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing it down gently. Top each meatloaf muffin with a spoonful of the cornbread mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.

6
Add the cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each muffin.

7
Bake and serve

Bake the Mexican Meatloaf Muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the cornbread topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
