Description
Meatloaf Muffins are a fabulous alternative to regular meatloaf. Kids just love them and mini meatloaf muffins cook much faster than traditional meatloaf.
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 (Instead of the tomato sauce, I usually substitute with around 1/4 cup of ketchup in the meat mixture and at least another 1/4 cup 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…)
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
Nutritional Info: 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. (Pretty good if you ask me!)

Mine took about 45 minutes as well and yielded way more than 10… more like 20+! But they were definitely good. I put my own twist on the recipe though! ?

Hi can you use the muffin inserts that you put in the pan?
Thanks

Jamie Sanders says
You can use the foil inserts, but I don’t recommend paper. I’m not sure what would happen if you used paper.

Your print link does not print the ingrediants or the instructions
Jamie Sanders says
Strange, it works when I click print. Maybe my website was glitches when you accessed it.
Jessica says
I had ground beef that I needed to use & had everything on hand to make this recipe so I tried it. It is super simple, quick to make & delicious! I tweaked it a bit adding more Worcestershire sauce & opted for jalapeño ketchup but other than that, perfect!
