Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup, plus more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Stir in the 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce until just combined.
  4. Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing gently into each cup.
  5. Top each muffin with a little extra ketchup and BBQ sauce.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the muffins are cooked through.
  7. Let the meatloaf muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Serve warm or let cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the meat mixture.
  • These muffins freeze well. Once cooled, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or place them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
