Barbecue Sauced Mini Meatloaves 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 BBQ MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty foil. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl combine the ground beef, egg, milk, cheese, oats, garlic pepper, onion powder and salt. Mix well. Form into 8 small, evenly sized meatloaves and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven.
• Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar and mustard. After the meatloaves have baked for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon the sauce evenly over the tops. Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 25 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center. Serve.

MINI BBQ CHEDDAR MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Cut onion in half then each half into thin slices. Melt butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat then add onion and a dash of salt. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Turn heat down if onions start to burn. Set aside to cool slightly - can be made ahead of time.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl combine ground beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tablespoons BBQ sauce, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, cheese cubes, and caramelized onions, then mix until just combined. Divide mixture into 4 equal-sized portions then form into loaves and place on a foil-lined, non-stick-sprayed baking sheet. Spread 1 Tablespoon BBQ sauce over each loaf then bake for 20 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center, and then serve.

MINI MEATLOAVES WITH BBQ GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 6-cavity mini loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the thyme and cook for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Beat the eggs until combined in a large bowl. Add the ground chuck, sausage, cream, ketchup, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Pour in the cooked vegetables. Use your hands to massage the meatloaf mix together until well combined (glove up for this if you like!).
• For the glaze: Stir the ketchup, barbecue sauce and mustard together in a small bowl until well mixed. Set aside.
• Divide the meat mixture evenly between the loaf pans, pushing down and flattening the tops of the meatloaves. Top each loaf with about 1/4 cup of the glaze. Bake until cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the loaves should register 160 degrees F), 25 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the meatloaves from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans and serve warm.
