Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio recommended)
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.33 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
• 1 tsp Dried parsley
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a standard-sized muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let this mixture sit for 2-3 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk and soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing, which can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 4

Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups, pressing down slightly to ensure they're packed but not overly compressed.

Step 5

Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of BBQ sauce on top of each meatloaf muffin, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf muffins reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a spoon or spatula.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables, or enjoy them as part of a meal prep plan for the week.
