Easy Mini Meatloaf Muffins image

Homemade meatloaf with a yummy sweet twist. I didn't have any breadcrumbs for the traditional meatloaf, so I searched my cabinets and came up with this meatloaf. It was a huge hit with the kids. It's sweet but still a meatloaf. The cornmeal and brown sugar just made it out of this world! Also, once cooked, they are very easy to store and pack up for leftovers. Serve with some smashed potatoes and green beans.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats. Ground beef is the most common meat used in meatloaf, but you can also use ground turkey, pork, lamb, or veal. Using a combination of meats will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor.
  • Add moisture. Meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add some moisture to the mixture. This can be done by adding eggs, bread crumbs, or vegetable juice.
  • Season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor your meatloaf. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. This will help to prevent it from drying out. The ideal cooking temperature for meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf miniatures are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a variety of recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give meatloaf miniatures a try. You won't be disappointed.
