Mexican Mini Meatloaves

Cheesy Salsa-Mini Meat Loaves recipe

This is a family favorite every time I make it.  Plus, they are nicely portioned and easy to take in a lunch to work.  This is also the perfect size for a toddler meal!

Ingredients:
1 lb. vegetarian beef crumbles (I like the Yives brand)
1/2 cup copped onion
1 flax egg (recipe: 1 Tbsp flax meal/ground flax seends + 3 Tbsp warm water.  Mix and let sit for 5 minutes. Use as an equivalent to 1 egg)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or you can use 12 crushed saltine crackers)
Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees
Mix first 4 ingredients with 1 cup cheese and 1/2 cup salsa.
Press into 12 muffing cups sprayed with cooking spray.  Use back of spoon to make indentation in center of each. 
Bake 20-25 minutes or until meat loaves are done. 
Top with remaining salsa and cheese.  Bake an additional 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

1.5 cups shredded cheese (or vegan cheese alternative), divided
1 cup salsa, divided
