Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine beef or turkey, stuffing mix, water, garlic and onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Gently combine with your hands or wooden spoon, but be careful not to over mix or the meatloaf will be tough and dense. If meat seems a little dry, add a bit more water.
Evenly fill the 12 cup muffin tin with the meat mixture
Combine all of the sauce topping ingredients in a small bowl, stir until combined.
Spoon about 1+ tablespoon of sauce onto each meatloaf muffin.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until meat is cooked through. If adding shredded cheese to the top, remove after 20 minutes, top with cheese, and bake for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve immediately, top with crispy onion strings if desired.
