  • 1
    (8-oz.) can pizza sauce
  • 1

    cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
  • 2
    oz. (1/2 cup) shredded Italian blend cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce and egg; mix well.
  • 2
    Divide mixture evenly into 8 ungreased muffin cups. Pat in bottom and up sides of cups to form beef cups. Fill cups with olives and cheese.

    Bake at 375°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until beef is thoroughly cooked. Meanwhile, heat remaining pizza sauce; serve with meat cups.

  • Small individual meat cups bake faster than one large meatloaf. This recipe puts dinner on the table more quickly than if a traditional meatloaf recipe were used.
  • Prepare these meat cups one day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate them. Uncover and bake meat cups, adding 3 to 5 minutes to baking time.
  • Serve these meat cups with french fries, cherry tomatoes and lemonade.
