I haven’t been this excited about a recipe in a long time, but my mini meatloaf recipe has me smiling from ear to ear. If you like quick, easy, and out-of-this-world delicious recipes, you will love these mini meatloaves!

I created this recipe from my run-of-the-mill meatloaf recipe {i.e. I normally just throw in whatever looks right}. Ha! The other night I was running behind getting dinner going, so I spiced up my normal recipe and made mini meatloaves to cut down on baking time.
Here are a few sweet tips before I give you the recipe.

Spectrum’s Coconut Spray Oil is my favorite! It leaves no weird coconut-y taste in the meatloaf {or any other baked goods}, I promise!

I mixed up some HFCS-free ketchup with a squirt of mustard and a teaspoon or so of raw sugar to glaze the top of each mini meatloaf before baking. I didn’t measure anything, so I’m showing you the picture.

Once the meat mixture was combined, {yes, I got my hands dirty}, I divided it up into 10 mini meatloaves. I added a little bit of water in the remaining two spaces to keep them from burning in the oven.
Umkay, now to the super easy recipe…

Delicious Mini Meatloaf Recipe
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1 c. cheese
- 1/2 c. oats
- 1/2 t. dried oregano
- 1/2 t. onion powder
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 t. salt
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ketchup, mustard, raw sugar {or brown sugar}
Before you get started, preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray a muffin pan.
In a large bowl, combine egg, milk, cheese, oats, oregano, onion powder, garlic and salt. Add ground beef and mix well. {Take off your rings and mix with your fingers.}
Evenly divide the meat mixture in muffin pan. This recipe makes approximately 10 mini meatloaves. In a small bowl, mix ketchup, a tad of mustard and a teaspoon of sugar. Evenly divide the glaze over each mini meatloaf.
Bake, uncovered for 45 minutes or until meat is done.
Enjoy, y’all!
P.S. I’m planning on making up a bunch of mini meatloaf balls to freeze. This is dinner prep made easy…just pull them out of the freezer to defrost, pop them in the oven and voila…dinner!

Believe it or not, that’s exactly how I make my meatloaf!! Besides being a huge time saver, I think it has more flavor in those little mini’s than it does slicing off a piece of a big loaf, even using the same recipe. We do a lot in the muffin pans – the kids love it! We do our chili relleno egg casserole in them, a lasagna/spaghetti with a big meatball on top (the kids love this served on top of a mound of potatoes), and more. I’m definitely gonna try your meatloaf recipe, sounds yummy!

I just found your blog yesterday! This recipe looks amazing and would love to try it… this may be a dumb question, but what type of cheese (parm, cheddar, moz, etc.) and oats (quick, regular, etc.) do you use?
Thanks!

@Michelle, Hi Michelle! I use cheddar cheese and I think the oats are are quick oats.
I hope that helps!

Looks so tasty! What a great way of not heating up the house for so long during the summertime, too. (Do you mind my asking where you found your coconut oil spray? That looks like a handy dandy thing I need for my kitchen.
)

Same recipe I use but I just place them in a glass dish and cook instead of the muffin tins, they hold their shape well…I use brown sugar…LOVE IT…I have been making them for years and they are always gone quick

This family of 7, who does not like meatloaf after a bad experience, gives this recipe 7 stars! Made them tonight, left out the onion powder, and served with mashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts. Awesome!

Next meatloaf, I’m going to try adding oats & cheddar cheese. I use catsup, brown sugar & Worchester Sauce for the topping.

My hubby’s a big fan of meatloaf, and I LOVE the idea of these in the muffin tins. Great idea! I’ll be making it!
