Directions

PREPARATION
Heat oven to 350°.

Loaves Soak bread and milk in a bowl for 10 minutes. Combine remaining loaf ingredients in another bowl; add bread and milk; mix well. Scoop 1/3 cup of mixture into each of 7 nonstick muffin tin cups. Bake 10 minutes.

Quick tip: While loaves bake, prepare glaze by combining all glaze ingredients in a bowl; also make sauce for enchilada bake.

Spread 1 tbsp glaze on each loaf. Continue to bake until internal temperature reaches 160°, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Quick tip: While baking, begin ragout and Thai soup.

Remove loaves from oven; let cool. Set aside 3 loaves for the shepherd's pie. If not serving immediately, cover remaining loaves and freeze.

To reheat Microwave on high 3 minutes or bake at 375° for 30 minutes.
