All done! I do muffin tin meatloaf because it cooks up so quick, these took 15 minutes. Topping is ketchup, dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. #meatloaf #iwoulddoanythingforthesebutIwontdothat #foodstr 📝 b9262a2d…

So much good food on here today. I didn't think it was possible but I'm stuck with my ham & potatoes, but I don't want it as much now 😭😂

I settled on frozen pizzas. Don't judge me. 95% of our meals are homemade.

I'm still not really sure what meatloaf is, but I think I'd enjoy it

Essentially what it says, a loaf of mince. Add some chopped veg in there and stuff and bake it in the oven. (We use our air fryer on bake because it's so fast compared to the actual oven.)

It's ground beef mixed up with seasonings and mashed in to a loaf tin and a bottle of ketchup on top, not elegant 😂. It's a classic comfort food, this recipe throws the veggies in for extra moisture and flavor and the ketchup gets a kick in the pants. Variations on a theme if you will.

You say those only took 10 or fifteen mins.... times how many of those tasty looking meatloaf portions in the (presumably) cup cake baking sheet? That, is really kewl - thank you for sharing!

They were filled to the tippy top. Each muffin tin has 12 holes, so 2 tins on a baking sheet 350 for 15 min

I always buy a few basic ones when they are on sale. Good to have for lazy days, and you can bump them up with some additional toppings 🤝🍕 #pineapple

I'd definitely enjoy this. Sounds like a posh burger

It's so good. It's perfect the next day with spicy mustard on a sandwich too! *My granny always added a little brown sauce to her meatloaf recipe for some kick 🦶

I might make this 🤔 Some random veggies beef mince. Bake in oven. Sounds chill

Basically. It's as easy or as complex as you want to make it. The ketchup topper is a must for me though.

its an exact measurement. at, but not exceeding, the line relative to the tip of the top

Use some bread or cracker crumbs and an egg to hold it all together. Just like for burgers or meatballs. Good luck and I hope you like it!!

One tip I'll share for the first time cooking a meatloaf though. Leave some room at the top of your cooking pan, don't fill it all the way. There will be moisture, and you want some room to prevent spillover into the oven. A baking tray underneath doesn't hurt either.

:yes: I usually do something similar to yours, ketchup, mustard powder & some A1 sauce. I've never tried balsamic though, maybe next time 🤔😋

Yarnlady 🧶19h ago

Go sparingly on it and taste often, I got carried away one time because measuring things is for noobs 😂. I used maybe a tablespoon to about a cup of ketchup for these. I bet the A1 is yummy, I don't think I've ever bought A1 🤔🤷‍♀️

It's a normal brown sauce, nice and tangy. Goes well with a meatloaf. I usually do 3:1 Ketchup:A1. I'm actually surprised I've never tried balsamic. I love both it & meatloaf 😂

Can't you add ketchup to the mix? I think I remember someone making burgers like this 🤔

Yarnlady 🧶19h ago

🤔 I'd say "traditionally" no, but you can do whatever you like. I'm not going to uhhhhh ackshually you on it. The ketchup on top kind of gets thick and the sugars from the tomatoes get kind of caramelized, so it changes the texture and taste of the ketchup a little. My uncle poured jarred spaghetti sauce on his 🤷‍♀️😂

On top it turns into a nice thick glaze while it cooks. The icing on your meatcake.

+1 again especially if you use a higher fat mince which is recommended for keeping it moist. I ground up an untrimmed chuck roast and these were great.

I know I've tasted it before, I think my dad always used to use it. Worth a try. I also had an Asian inspired meatloaf that had chopped up shiitakes, chinese five spice, and a hoisin and rice vinegar topping 🫄. I really should post these recipes on zapcooking since the meal plan service is going away in June 😭☹️
