MEAT-LOVER'S CUPCAKES



Meat-Lover's Cupcakes image

This is a quick and easy recipe that is good for any kind of get together. Whether it's a small family get together, or a game-day blow out, these are sure to delight food lovers of all ages. For the sauce I like to use stone-ground Dijon mustard. Feel free to experiment with different types of mustard, each one changes the flavor of the sauce. Regular yellow mustard makes the sauce slightly sweeter.
