Meatloaf Muffins with Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 2/3 to 1 3/4 pounds ground sirloin
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
2 ribs celery from the heart of the stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper
1 large egg plus a splash of milk, beaten
1 cup plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 cup smoky barbecue sauce
1/2 cup tomato salsa
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Micro-way-cool Bacon and Green Beans, recipe follows
Smashed potatoes and cream cheese, recipe follows
6 slices microwave ready-crisp bacon
One 16-ounce bag frozen green beans
A drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 1/2 pounds small red potatoes or baby Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
8 ounces plain cream cheese or veggie cream cheese, cut into pieces
10 chives or 2 scallions, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put ground beef into a big bowl. Put onion and celery into a food processor. Cut the bell pepper in half, rip out the seeds and throw them into your garbage bowl. Cut the pepper into a few pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse the processor blades to finely chop the vegetables into very small pieces then add them to the meat bowl. Add egg, beaten with milk, bread crumbs and grill seasoning to the bowl. Next, mix together the smoky barbecue sauce, the salsa and the Worcestershire sauce. Pour half the sauce mixture into the bowl with the meatloaf mix. Mix the meatloaf together with your hands. Wash up. Brush a 12-muffin tin (1/2-cup each) with vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil. Use an ice cream scoop to help you fill meat into a each tin. Top each meat loaf with a spoonful of extra sauce. Bake about 20 minutes. Cut open 1 muffin to test that the middle is cooked through. While meatloaf muffins bake, make green beans in the microwave. Serve meatloaf with Smashed Potatoes and Cream Cheese on the side, too.
  • Place bacon between paper towels and microwave 60 seconds on high. Cool bacon and chop or crumble up.
  • Place green beans in a bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave green beans on high for 5 minutes, stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove wrap and top green beans with crumbled bacon.
  • Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, you can be working on the meatloaf recipe.
  • When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let them dry out a bit. Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato masher. Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the potatoes. Then add chives and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

Muffin Tin Meatloaf Recipe by Tasty image

Dare we call these mini meatloaves "cute"? Packed with the traditional meatloaf flavor you love, these individual servings are great for meal prep.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 50m

Yield 12 meatloafs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup whole milk
1 lb ground beef
1 large egg, beaten
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the panko and milk. Add the ground beef, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and onion mixture and use your hands to combine.
  • Divide the meat mixture evenly between the greased muffin cups, making sure not to overfill. Brush the tops with ketchup.
  • Bake until the tops are browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), about 30 minutes.
  • Serve warm, or, if not serving immediately, let the meatloaves cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Muffin Tin Meatloaf Size: Standard muffin tins will yield smaller meatloaves, while jumbo muffin tins will produce larger ones. Adjust cooking times accordingly.

  • Seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to create unique flavors. Popular options include garlic, onion, herbs, mustard, and barbecue sauce.
  • Binding Agents: Breadcrumbs, oats, and eggs are common binding agents that help hold the meatloaf together.
  • Toppings: Get creative with toppings like cheese, bacon, or vegetables. You can also glaze the meatloaves with a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard for a sweet and tangy crust.
  • Cooking Time and Temperature: Generally, muffin tin meatloaves take about 20-25 minutes to cook at 350°F (175°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for ground beef and 165°F (75°C) for poultry.
