Best 6 Decadent Mini Meatloaf Recipes

MINI MEATLOAF MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl (using your hands or a large spoon), combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, 1 Tbsp barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg.
• Divide the mixture among the 12 cups in a standard muffin tin, pressing them down to fill the cup. Bake for 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, in a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
• Remove the meatloaf from oven and use a paper towel to soak up any grease on the meatloaf.
• Generously spoon sauce over each mini meat loaf. Return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and any extra sauce.

MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the egg, milk, cheese, oats and salt. Add the ground beef, mixing well, and form this mixture into eight miniature meatloaves. Place these in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Stir thoroughly and spread over each meatloaf.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

MINI MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Sauté the vegetables: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onions and peppers for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute. Remove and let cool.
• Combine Wet ingredients: Whisk together the egg, milk, mustard, ketchup, BBQ Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the Ritz crackers, then add the cooled onions/peppers/garlic. Add the ground beef and gently mix until just combined. Don't overwork the meat or it will become tough.
• Form into loaves: Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts and mold them into 5-inch loaves. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (preferably a sheet that has raised edges to avoid overflow from drippings.) Combine the glaze ingredients and brush half of it over the meatloaf.
• Bake Once/Remove Grease: Bake for 25 minutes and carefully remove it from the oven, there will be grease to remove. To do this, carefully transfer each meatloaf to a new parchment paper lined baking sheet using a spatula. OR, transfer to a plate and replace the original baking sheet with new parchment paper. (See PRO tips in notes section for an alternative method of handling the grease.)
• Bake Twice: Brush remaining glaze on top of the meatloaf. Bake for 15 more minutes, the internal temperature should be 160 degrees.
• Serve: I like to brush a little more ketchup on top prior to serving. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans or roasted carrots.

• Put the mixture in an ungreased 8x10 loaf pan and shape it so that there is a small amount of space between the meatloaf and the pan on all sides.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 75 minutes or until cooked( usually just takes 75 minutes.) Check on it every now and then though.
• Take meatloaf out and spoon the fat off the top.
• Mix the ketchup, dry mustard, brown sugar in a small bowl and then put it on top of the meatloaf and stick it back in the oven at 375 degrees for 5 more minutes.

ALL AMERICAN DECADENT MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a food processor, grind the croutons with the chili powder. Set aside. Process the onion, garlic, carrot, pepper, and parsley in the food processor until finely, finely diced.
• Mix the meat, ground croutons, and vegetables until well mixed. Season liberally with sea salt and pepper. Add the 3 eggs, mix without squeezing the meat too much.
• Mix the bottle of A1, ketchup, brown sugar, hot sauce, and dijon mustard in a bowl.
• I made mine freehanded, which in my opinion is more fun.
• When you form the loaf you want it to be pretty even to ensure its fully cooked when all is said and done. Mine was about 3 1/2 inches thick.
• Place strips of bacon horizontally over the loaf until it is fully covered. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Take out of oven and add a heavy glaze of sauce. Bake for another 40 minutes. Add another layer of sauce. Cook until done, probably another 30-45 minutes. Using a meat thermometer, ensure that the thickest part of the loaf is 160 degrees. Add a final layer of sauce to the loaf and cover with foil until ready to serve. It stayed pretty hot for about an hour.
