Migraine-free Meatloaf Muffins

One lazy weekend afternoon my husband and I were cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry while watching the food network.  The show was highlighting various restaurant prepared meatloaves.  My husband thought it would be a great idea to create our own meatloaf meal.  Most meatloaf recipes are dangerous for a migrainuer.  They contain ingredients like ketchup, onions, Worcestershire which are migraine triggers.  My daughter and I took the meatloaf creating to another level by packaging our meatloaf into a muffin tin before baking it.  It turned out wonderfully.  We had individual serving sized meatloaves which were great reheated.

The ingredients for Migraine-free Meatloaf Muffins:
1/2 cup of milk
2 eggs
1 cup of bread crumbs
1 finely chopped shallots
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
shredded American cheese to top it off (optional)

This migrainuer's shopping tips:
I have become a little bit of a food snob since being a migrainuer revealed so many hidden food additives as triggers.  I eat a diet that avoids "extra" and "unnecessary" ingredients.  Therefore when I purchase milk, eggs, cheese and beef I try to buy organic.  If I cant find certified organic beef, I buy beef without hormones and antibiotics.  When I purchase seasonings I make sure the ingredients contain only the intended seasoning and not "natural flavoring" or "MSG" or any other preservative.

Preparation and cooking:
1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.  I gather my ingredients and chop my shallots and garlic
3.  I combine all the ingredients listed above with the exception of the cheese (which is optional as a topping) in a big bowl.  
4.   I take off my rings, roll up my sleeves and start mashing it all together with my hands. 
5.   I spoon the beef mixture into a greased muffin tin.
6.   I make little thumbprints in the middle of the beef muffins, and stuff them with cheese. 
7.  I put the muffin tin in the oven and bake them for 25 minutes.


**I served them with some sautéed zucchini and mashed potatoes.  Both kids and husband approved.
