Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
2 pounds meatloaf mix (ground beef, pork and veal)
1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 small green onions, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg
Serving suggestions: mashed potatoes and a green salad

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour the milk over the breadcrumbs in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the meatloaf mix, 1 cup of the cheese, 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce, the salt, pepper, green onions, garlic and egg and mix with your hands until just combined.
  • Divide and shape the mixture into 6 balls and arrange the balls in a 6-cup nonstick muffin pan. Place the muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet and brush the remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce on top of the meat.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Continue to bake until the meatloaf muffins are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes more; the interior muffins may take a little longer to cook. Cool 5 minutes in the pan.
  • Arrange on a serving platter and serve with mashed potatoes and a green salad.

These meatloaf muffins are so easy to make and they are a great way to use up leftover rice. I added some cooked rice to my meatloaf mixture and they turned out great.

I love that these meatloaf muffins can be made ahead of time. I made them on the weekend and then reheated them for dinner during the week.

These meatloaf muffins are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I snuck in some chopped carrots and celery and they didn't even notice.

I used a sugar-free BBQ sauce in my meatloaf muffins and they were still delicious. This is a great recipe for people who are watching their sugar intake.
