Great idea for lunch or picnic. I’ve been doing this for years and make mine with a chunk of cheese (use your favorite) in the center. So many ways to change up the recipe. Tex Mex, Asian, etc. Any of your favorite burger recipes will work. To solve the grease problem, simply use the disposable foil cupcake pans. Punch small holes in them so the grease will escape during cooking. The pans can be hung over the edges of a regular baking pan so they are suspended above the base to allow the grease to drip. Lining the base pan with foil will also keep the clean up to a minimum.
I am giving four stars for the innovative “meatloaf muffin” idea. The meatloaf itself could have been a bit lighter and more flavorful, in my opinion. The second time I made it I added 2 eggs, 2 slices of bread and enough milk to completely soak the bread. I also put in a teaspoon of basil, a teaspoon of Oregano and a few roesmary leaves. With these changes, the muffins came out excellent.
I have been making meatloaf muffins for years. I tried this recipe and we liked it. As the recipe says, use LEAN ground beef or you will get grease in the tins. I will be making it again. Thanks for the recipe.
Fantastic! I used cream of mushroom soup, added in some grated parm cheese, some garlic powder, and parsley. Needed to adjust the bread crumbs to compensate for the creaminess of the soup. I sprayed the tin with non stick spray and had no oil or grease issues. This was quick and easy, and everyone loved it, even the picky eaters. I will certainly make this part of my meals when I am in the mood for meatloaf. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Serve these delicious meatloaf muffins with steamed green beans and roasted potato wedges for an at-home version of a blue-plate special.
Meatloaf in a Muffin Tin is the perfect way to cook meatloaf.
My family loves meatloaf and it is a super easy meal to prepare however when prepared in a loaf pan it takes so long. It heats up the house and often times I have to worry about if it is “done” in the middle or not.
When I mentioned it to my Mom she reminded me that she used to make meatloaf this way when we were little to save cooking time (always listen to your Mom).
I knew immediately by using meatloaf in a muffin tin my meatloaf worries were over. Be sure to Re-Pin this post.

How long do you bake and at what temp.?
It says 450 for 20 mins.
Why brush with oil if there will be fat cooking out?
If you use ground sirloin as suggested there won’t be much in the way of fat. Ground sirloin is a premium grade ground meat because of its low fat ratio.
not oil , barbecue sauce
Thanks it looks Good
Sounds like a lot of work and i dont have alll those ingredients.
Use what you have handy. The idea is to make the baking part as easy as possible and quick from mixing bowl to table.
Hmmm very interesting ,will try it …
I use deer meet . Add bell peppers and onions .Have to put an egg because meet has no fat in it . Mushroom soup and breadcrumbs .As you can tell I like it loaded . Have not tried the muffin tin . I think I will try it tonight though .
How much mushroom soup and do you add water to dilute it
Mix with a package of ranch dressing
I use Hunts Meatloaf sauce which has great flavor and keeps the meatloaf moist.
Great idea. I love hunts tomato sauce.
I’ve never seen Hunt’s meatloaf sauce. I’m going to look for it, probably not out here in Cali 🙄
But it sounds good, Thank you 🙂
They sell it at Walmart
I”m just going to use my own meatloaf recipe and use the tins.
This would be great for freezing then take out when needed!👍👍
Perfect for a single.person! Pop ’em in the freezer after cooking. Gonna tweak your recipe a bit, but man… how simple! Thank you!
I use this size meatloaf to stuff green peppers after I parboil the peppers. then, cook the as stuffed peppers. Just the right size to fit in peppers.
I used Stove top stuffing mix for breadcrumbs. Tasted great! Just be sure to mix the bag before adding it. I had 1.3 pounds of meat, used half the bag of the mix.
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!!!So looking forward to making them😊
What a great idea. I never thought of this before and I I’ve been cooking for 50 years. My daughter makes an excellent BBQ sauce and it would go great on the top of them. My mouth is watering just thinking about it
When I push you next button it takes me to a page for travel. So how do I get the recipe
Does anyone know how long to cook in large muffin tins ?
450 Degrees F. for 20 minutes…
Wonderful idea…….I love eat loaf….family does not……freeze these and I can have them as often as I want with no fuss or bother…..thanx..!!!!
I make these and once they are cool, I put them in a ziploc or container and freeze. I usually make s dozen at a time. Then I can pull out the amount I need. It works out great!
yes I will make this.
This is my perfect solution! My husband doesn’t really care for meat loaf but he will eat it cause he knows I love me some meatloaf! This makes clean up so much easier too. I can’t wait to make tonight and have mashed potatoes and green beans! Thanks! Keep the great, easy, and have a small amount of people eating!
I use a packet of onion soup mix and broth for liquid and I use croutons for the bread, love my food processer
Sounds grand going to try this for sure!!!!
Sounds yummy!!!
does anyone use a brown gravy
this sounds great!! I definitely have to make this!!
I make my meatloaf with oatmeal and tomato juice, egg, onion and salt and pepper, it’s very moist, love it!
My husband asks for green bell peppers and I hate them. this is perfect! I can make his flavor and mine separate and solve the problem. And freeze the rest for future meals. Thanks!
thank you
You can also make whipped potatoes and pipe them on the tops of the “muffins”, returning them to the oven for the last 5-10 minutes.
Ingredients
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
Directions
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
