If you haven't tried your meatloaf in a muffin tin yet, you really should give it a try.

Meatloaf Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs or oatmeal (I always use oatmeal)
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg or 2
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (I usually use about a 1/4 cup of ketchup in the meat mixture and a little more for the top)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- several shakes of Worcestershire sauce
- A couple of handfuls of whatever other veggies you have on hand… (onions, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, spinach, lentils…)
Directions:
(Using 1 egg, 93/7 Ground Turkey, 1/2 cup of ketchup and dividing into 10 meatloaf muffins, the calorie count is about 110 per muffin.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, but only use about ¼ of the tomato sauce/ketchup in the meat mixture.
- Press the meat into the muffin cups (you should be able to get eight to 10 out of this amount of meat).
- Top with a dollop of tomato sauce/ketchup on each one.
- Cook for 30-35 minutes.
- Serve two per person.

This looks delish! My kids love anything muffin shaped, so I think this will be a definite hit at our house. Do you think that this is something we could freeze and then reheat later? Thanks for sharing the recipe!

@Jaymie: These definitely freeze well. Sometimes I double the recipe just to put away in the freezer. Last time I did it, I froze them in servings of 2 and used them for nights my husband wasn't going to be home for dinner, since I don't always cook a big meal when he's not here...

did you spray the muffin pan first, or no?
ReplyDeleteHi Jordan,
DeleteI usually use a very lean ground beef or turkey. (Like 95/5 or 97/3.) I rub a little olive or canola oil in the muffin tin. I don't like to use pam or any other type of spray because it seems to leave a funky residue on the pan. If you are using a ground meat with a higher content, you might not need to do anything. Good luck.

I called these "Meatloaf cupcakes" in our house. After baking, I spread generous dollop of mashed potatoes on top! Instant family hit! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteI am trying these tonight! Love the undercover vegetables! ;)
