For a richer flavor, try using a blend of ground beef and ground pork. Add cheese on top of the meatloaf before baking. Feel free to customize the glaze with a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra kick. These meatloaf muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, diced tomatoes, bread crumbs, egg substitute, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the meatloaf tender. (10 minutes)
03
StepEvenly distribute the beef mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of ketchup, packed brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create a tangy-sweet glaze. (3 minutes)
05
StepBrush or spoon the glaze generously over the top of each meatloaf muffin, ensuring they are nicely coated. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the muffins are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), approximately 35 minutes. (35 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

Jun 25, 2025These are so much easier than making a whole meatloaf. Plus, the individual portions are perfect.
