Mini Meatloaf Muffins
These mini meatloaf muffins are the perfect bite of savory ground beef comfort food. Plus, they come together so easily for dinner! Kids sure do love them and I love them for meal prep. Watch how I make them in my kitchen in the video below.
Servings: 12
Equipment
Ingredients
For the mini meatloaf
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- ½ medium onion finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup quick-cooking oats
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the glaze
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oats, milk, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix together the ingredients until well combined, but try not to over-mix.
- Divide the mixture. Grab a small handful of the mixture and lightly roll it between your hands, then place it in the muffin pan. Repeat this process until the mixture is evenly divided between all 12 muffin cups. Note: I like to keep the muffins just slightly rounded, so that any grease from the meat stays on the outside edges.
- Coat with the glaze. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Spoon it over the top of each meatloaf muffin. Alternatively, you can glaze the muffins after they've come out of the oven.
- Cook. Place the muffin tray in the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 160°F (70°C).
- Serve. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite sides (see ideas above!)

Notes
- You can use other types of ground meat! Ground pork is another delicious option, especially when you use half pork and half beef. If using ground turkey, just be aware that it’ll be lighter in flavor, but still delicious.
- Storage tip: Store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
