Step-by-Step Instructions
Getting started with these Mini Meatloaf Muffins is a breeze. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ketchup. Make sure to mix all the ingredients well, but try not to overmix; you want to maintain that juicy texture! Once combined, scoop equal portions into each cup of the muffin tin, pressing down gently to ensure they hold their shape. This is where the fun begins! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
