Mini Meatloaf Muffins

I love meatloaf, and I’ve been wanting to do a meatloaf recipe for a while. But OMG, it does NOT photograph very well. I made this recipe multiple times, just to try to get the photos. I’m not super excited about them, TBH, but after looking at other meatloaf recipes on the internet, I’ve determined it’s not the most photogenic food out there. It is, however, very tasty!

This meatloaf is an easy meal. It’s good for meal prep, and nights when the whole family has something going on after work/school. Hell, I’d even eat it for breakfast.

No hurry up and make these before your week gets crazy!

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs/Flax, onion, pepper, ketchup, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg.

• Divide the mixture among the 12 cups in a standard muffin tin, pressing them down to fill the cup. Bake for 15 minutes.

• In the meantime, in a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce.

• Remove the meatloaf from oven and use a paper towel to soak up any grease on the meatloaf.

• Generously spoon sauce over each mini meat loaf. Return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.

Notes:

• I used ground beef, but you could easily use groung turkey.

• I used an unsweetened ketchup (this one), so you may want to ease up on the maple syrup in the sauce topping if you use one with added sugar.

• These freeze well, but if it annoys you to freeze the sauce on the meatloaf, just leave it off,a nd pack it in it’s own container in the freezer and add it when you heat them up.
