What a great idea! My toddler actually ate her meat tonight, yay!!! She loved her "meat muffins" and even asked for more right before bed. That Never happens. I added 1/2 tsp Sweet Hungarian Paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 2 carrots shredded (1.5 cups maybe) which stretched the 1 lb of ground beef I made to 12 muffins. Made with cheesy rice and broccoli #307726. Bravo, busymommybee

I used a meatloaf mix made with dehydrated onions, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, was outstanding!!! I also used panko bread crumbs because that is what I had.<br/><br/>I sprayed my pampered chef stoneware muffin pan with my kitchen spritzer, and they came right out, without any problems. My family loved it!!

Totally awesome! My very picky 6 year old daughter, who doesn't like meatloaf, loves these! Thanks so much for sharing :)

Yum! DH and both kids (ages 5 and 2) loved these. I substituted oatmeal for one cup of bread crumbs, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. These were easy to make and everyone was amused by the "muffins" on their plates. We'll definitely have these again!

While mixing it I thought the mixture was a little dry, but it baked up nice and moist. I used Rudy's BarBQ Sause (spelled like that)instead of the catsup, and ended up dividing it up in 6 regular and 6 jumbo muffin cups so they would be a little flatter on top and hold the sauce better. I used the foil muffin pan liners on the regular size. My husband asked the name of them, then said I should open a Meat Loaf Muffin Restaurant! Obviously, we'll be having them again. Thanks bmb!
