- Cooked bacon bits (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. PREHEAT THE OVEN:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
2. SEASON AND PREPARE THE MEAT:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey with your favorite seasoning blend. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
3. SHAPE THE MEAT MUFFINS:
- Divide the seasoned meat mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down slightly to form a well in the center.
- If desired, you can create an indentation in the center of each meat muffin to hold the toppings.
4. ADD TOPPINGS:
- Place a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of each meat muffin.
- Optionally, add cooked bacon bits or any other toppings you prefer, such as diced onions or peppers.
5. BAKE:
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. SERVE:
- Once cooked, remove the meat muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan.
- Use a spoon or spatula to carefully remove the meat muffins from the muffin pan and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve the meat muffins hot with your choice of toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, olives, or any other keto-friendly condiments you like.

- Feel free to customize the seasoning blend according to your taste preferences.
