Lunch help.

Do you struggle with packing lunches? In her eBook, The Healthy Lunchbox, Katie shares her 10 secrets to successful lunch packing, as well as keeping lunches waste-free.

Even though my kids are homeschooled, I’m always on the lookout for easy lunches to try out on them. They’d be happy to eat grapes, cheese sticks, and frozen peas every day, but I like to try and get a little something more in them. 😉

Pizza perfect.

As I perused Katie’s book, I knew right away which recipe I needed to try. Pizza? Meat? Muffins? Yep. Three words that will bring all my kids running! Well, not all of them – the youngest can’t even crawl yet. 😉

My three-year old and I had fun mixing up the muffins, lining the muffin tins, grating the cheese for the tops. And the rest of my family enjoyed helping her devour them! I love that I can make something they’ll enjoy while sneaking in healthy ingredients like spinach, garlic, and onions. I’m being completely serious when I say that I put in enough spinach for a good-sized salad – and my kids devoured it. 

Tasty leftovers.

Even though we like these muffins warm, they’re also delicious cold (perfect for easy lunches!), and Katie also gives a similar recipe with more of a Greek-inspired flavor, which I plan on trying next time…

Whether your kids are homeschooled or they trek off to public/private/charter school in the morning, Katie’s eBook is full of healthy, easy lunches the whole family will love. These delicious Pizza Meat Muffins are only one of the many fun lunch ideas the book has to offer! And Katie doesn’t just stop at kid-friendly lunches. Interspersed with the recipes are tips for turning them into the perfect work lunch, picnic, or road trip meal!

These Pizza Meat Muffins attest to the deliciousness of the recipes in The Healthy Lunchbox, so what are you waiting for? Click on the title and check out the goodness – you won’t regret it. 😉

Pizza Meat Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-3 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 6 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup pizza sauce (make sure it’s sugar-free!)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Brown the beef, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add onions and peppers for the last 5 minutes.

While this is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 and put muffin cup liners in your pan. (Don’t skip them!)

Wash and roughly chop the spinach, along with any other veggies. The spinach cooks down a lot, so don’t be afraid of using all 6 cups.

When the onions are getting translucent, add the garlic and spinach plus any other veggies you’re trying, stirring over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is all wilted. Turn off the heat and give everything a chance to cool for a few minutes.

In a medium sized bowl, beat the eggs.

Using a slotted spoon, add in all the meat and veggie mixture and the cup of pizza sauce. Stir to combine.

Transfer to lined muffin cups with a heaping quarter cup measuring cup and gently press down with the bottom of the cup.

Bake for 25 minutes, then top each muffin with cheese and bake another 10-15 minutes. (For mini muffins, put cheese on right away and bake 15-20 minutes.)

Makes 12 muffins or 24 mini muffins (or more if you add more veggies).
