Meatloaf Muffins

Since starting my Freezer Cooking group on Facebook, several people have asked for my meatloaf muffin recipe. Here you go! 

You can actually use ANY meatloaf recipe. I use my mama’s. :)  The only thing for sure is you have to make sure to buy the absolute BEST hamburger. Like 90/10, extra lean. Otherwise it will NOT cook solid. And you half the time for cooking, where a whole loaf takes about an hour, the muffins only take about 25-30 mins.

I use:

1 lb hamburger

1 onion, diced finely

1 egg

¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar)

¼ cup BBQ Sauce ( I use KC masterpiece)

¼ cup ketchup

¼ cup Heinz57

1/8 cup mustard

1/2 cup brown sugar

Rolled oats or bread crumbs for thickening (last batch took me about 6 tablespoons of bread crumbs.

 Salt and pepper to taste

Topping is a little ketchup, heinz57, dab of mustard, and dab of BBQ sauce. Mix together. 

You want it to NOT be sloppy, almost where you could roll it into balls.

I just spoon it into the muffin pan (do NOT grease it first, but I do use a non stick pan)

You can totally use muffin liners if you want, the foil kind.

Spoon it to the top of the pans. Cover with a spoon of the topping and bake at 350 for about 30 mins.

You can totally make this with any meatloaf recipe, the cheeseburger kind, BBQ kind, etc. To freeze- just bake, then let cool completely and store. reheat in the microwave when ready!
