  • Be sure to press the meat mixture firmly into the muffin tins. This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart when it is cooked.
  • Do not overcook the meatloaf. Overcooked meatloaf will be dry and tough. To check if the meatloaf is done, insert a meat thermometer into the center of one of the meatloaves. The internal temperature should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Muffin tin meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a muffin tin meatloaf recipe that everyone will enjoy.
