Cher picked this recipe for us to try. We all liked it pretty well. Although, K-man said it needed more cheese. When I was putting the cheese slices into the meat loaf, it seemed like enough, but I guess some of it was absorbed by the meat. Not sure if that's true, but I should have stuck closer to the recipe on that part at least. Obviously, the biggest thing I tweaked for this recipe was to make meat loaf muffins rather than meat loaf. That was only to cut down on cooking time.
Mozzarella-Layered Meat Loaf Muffins
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 pound Mild Italian chicken sausage
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 T chopped fresh parsley
Sliced mozzarella cheese (I only used two slices; each 1/6 of a slice really fit into the muffin tin nicely, but it really could have used at least double that amount of cheese)
Combine all ingredients except mozzarella cheese; mix well. Fill the bottom third of each lightly greased muffin cup. Place cheese on top of meat mixture, leaving a slight border on all sides. Evenly distribute the remaining mixture over cheese into each muffin cup; press lightly on sides to seal. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes.
