Sometimes our meals are purely nothing but comfort foods. I saw a similar recipe and decided to try a few things different and served these mini meatloaves with a side dish of mashed potatoes!

Provided by Jennifer Bass

Categories     Beef

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 cupcake liners
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 c milk
1/4 c steak sauce
1/2 c quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb lean ground beef
12 cubes mild cheddar cheese
1/4 c light brown sugar
2/3 c ketchup

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 12 count muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, steak sauce, uncooked quick cooking oats, beef and salt.
  • 2. Divide mixture into twelve equal portions. Insert one cheese cube into center of meat and roll in hands to form the meat around the cheese into a ball. Place into muffin tin and continue with remaining meat and cheese.
  • 3. In a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup and brown sugar. Stir thoroughly and spread over each mini meatloaf.
  • 4. Bake uncovered on center oven rack for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: A combination of ground beef and pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken, or lamb. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to give it flavor and depth of taste.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing the meatloaf mixture will make it tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Stuff the meatloaves loosely: Don't pack the meatloaf mixture too tightly into the muffin cups. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaves at a high temperature: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meatloaves while keeping the inside moist.
  • Let the meatloaves rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaves, making them even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

These mini stuffed meatloaves are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or potluck, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a fun and tasty recipe, give these mini stuffed meatloaves a try!
