Followed the recipe exactly only I doubled it to use up the whole pound of ground beef I had on hand. didn't have the onion, so I left that out. Used Worcestershire in place of the Watkins, because I didn't have that either. Did add the cheese and tomato sauce and would not recommend leaving that out! We did not like these plain, but when topped with Ketchup the kids gobbled them down! I served with mashed potatoes and peas & carrots which made for a good weekday lunch for my kids & I.

These were really good. I used italian breadcrumbs and marinara sauce for the tomato sauce. I had never thought about making meatloaf in muffin tins. It makes a nice size serving that way, but you don't over eat. I baked according to the recipe, but next time will add a bit of time to the baking time because we like the outside crisp. Thanks!

Perfect meatloaf recipe if you just need individual servings! I doubled it to use the 1 lb ground beef I had on hand and froze the leftovers, which reheated very well! I used garlic & herb Prego that I had left over for the tomato sauce and didn't put any cheese in. It made 11 "muffins" for me, but I didn't fill them all the way! Thanks littleturtle this was great :)

Excellent meat loaf muffins. Perfect for freezing too. I used two tablespoons of minced sweet onion instead of the onion flakes, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce instead of the Watkins (not available here), leftover homemade tomato sauce, and grated cheddar cheese. I placed foil paper on the rack below to catch any drips for easy clean up. Leftovers make great sandwiches if there are any, or cool and freeze for another meal. Yummy. Thanks for posting. Burnice
