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-PAN MEAT LOAVES
I used to have a catering business, and my specialty was comfort food. I once needed a gluten-free meat loaf, and my clients went nuts over this recipe. I often use an 8x8-in. pan or a loaf pan, but a muffin tin really cuts the cooking time. -Vangie Panagotopulos, Moorestown, New Jersey

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!

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.

MEATLOAF MUFFINS
Yummy!! Hubby and I both grew up hating meatloaf -- the ones our Moms made and even the ones Grandma made too. I came across this recipe on Food Network and it looked cute how they were made in muffin tins. I thought okay, I gotta give this a try, so I tweaked it a bit to make it my own and to fit to what we like and it is absolutely delicious. I don't have children, but I went to a family friend's house and I cooked this for three young kids. They all gobbled it right up and wanted more even. Good thing I had another muffin tin staying warm in the oven. :)

Steps:
- Throw onions, celery, and bell pepper in a food processor and finely chop. If you don't have a food processor, chop them really small with a knife.
- Mix barbecue sauce, salsa and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl, divide it into halves.
- In a big bowl put beef, chopped vegetables, egg, bread crumbs, McCormick grill seasoning, and one half of the barbecue sauce mixture.
- Mash everything up with your hands.
- Grease the muffin pans; I use extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
- Use a big spoon or an ice cream scooper to scoop meatloaf mixture into each tin.
- Top the meatloaves with a spoonful of the remaining barbecue sauce mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes in a 450 degree Fahrneheit oven.
- Note: Makes about 12-16 muffins. It depends on how big you want each of them to be; the bigger you make them the less you'll have.
Tips:
- Choose the right muffin tins: Use standard-sized muffin tins with 12 cups.
- Prepare the muffin tins: Grease the muffin tins with cooking spray or line them with paper liners to prevent the meatloaves from sticking.
- Mix the meatloaf mixture thoroughly: Make sure all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form the meatloaf mixture into 12 equal portions: Use a large spoon or an ice cream scoop to make this easier.
- Press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the muffin tins: This will help keep the meatloaves together when they are cooking.
- Bake the meatloaves according to the recipe instructions: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the meatloaves.
- Let the meatloaves cool slightly before serving: This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
These muffin tin barbecue bacon meatloaves are a quick and easy way to make a delicious and satisfying meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. The muffin tin format makes them easy to portion and serve, and the barbecue bacon sauce adds a flavorful and smoky touch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
