Tips and Tricks

  • For Moist Meatloaf: Add a bit of grated zucchini or carrot to the mixture. This adds moisture and sneaks in some extra veggies.
  • Flavor Boost: Use a mix of ground beef and ground pork for a richer flavor.
  • Cheesy Twist: Add a small cube of cheese in the center of each mini meatloaf for a gooey surprise.
  • Glaze: Brush a mixture of ketchup and brown sugar on top of the meatloaves before baking for a sweet and tangy glaze.

Variations

  • Turkey Mini Meatloaf: Substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • Italian Style: Add Italian seasoning and top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • BBQ Meatloaf: Mix in some BBQ sauce with the meat mixture and top with extra BBQ sauce before baking.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover mini meatloaves can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They also freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and they can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in the oven or microwave until heated through.

Serving Suggestions

  • Side Dishes: Serve your mini meatloaves with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
  • Drinks: Pair with a glass of red wine, iced tea, or a refreshing lemonade.
