Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a healthier option)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs

- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 egg, beaten

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated carrot, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, beaten egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Scoop the meat mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
