In light of our family New Years resolution to give up fast food, we have been eating more home cooked meals therefore we have been experimenting and trying new recipes.

Last night’s dinner consisted on some awesome Mini Mexican Inspired Meatcakes and Mexican Rice.
It was AWESOME!!

To make the meatcakes you will need:

1lb. ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 egg
12 saltine crackers crushed (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup thick and chunky salsa

PreHeat the oven to 400*

Mix the beef, onions, egg and crackers with 1 cup of the cheese and a 1/2 cup of the salsa.
Press into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray and indent each in the center with a spoon.
Bake 20-25 minutes and then top with the remaining cheese and salsa and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Serve and enjoy!
We served ours with Mexican rice along with salsa and sour cream on the side.
