Equipment

  • 2 Bowls for mixing ingredients
  • 1 12 ct Muffin Tray

Ingredients
  

SAUCE

  • 1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Ketchup
  • 2 TSP Yellow Mustard Dijon if you have it, but otherwise Yellow is fine
  • 1/4 TSP Nutmeg OK to omit if you don't have it

MEATLOAF

  • 1 1/2 Pounds Ground beef Or turkey, note: leaner meat works better because the fattier cuts like 80/20 leave tons of residual fat pooled in the tray
  • 2/3 Cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Onion White or yellow, avoid red
  • 1 TBSP Barbecue sauce Anything you like works here, make sure it's brown and sweet
  • 1 TBSP Yellow Mustard
  • 1/2 TSP Garlic Powder
  • 1 1/2 TSP Chili Powder
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 TSP Black Pepper
  • 1 Count Egg, beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • In a large bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients together well
  • Divide the mixture among the 12 cups of a muffin tin, press in and pack as much as you can
  • BAKE for 15 minutes
  • While baking, combine all the sauce ingredients together
  • Pull the meatloaf out of the oven and use paper towels to blot up grease that has pooled on top of the meat
  • Generously sauce the muffins with the sauce mixture
  • BAKE another 15 minutes until the meat is 165 degrees Farenheit
  • Remove and serve with your favorite meatloaf sides, obviously mashed potatoes!
