If you live alone and don't want to bake a FULL loaf pan meatloaf I find this extremely convenient and cost effective way to stretch a budget. Eating groundbeef seems to be the ONLY affordable way to eat beef these days, but I have also used Ground Chicken and Turkey to make a loaf this way.

So true shadowcam! I freeze the extra mini meat loaves individually, so I can heat them up one at a time for myself.

Fun way to do meatloaf. I use large sized muffin tin for 6 muffins. Top each one differently cheese, salsa, BBQ sauce, ketchup, onion slice, bacon, etc. Easy and does not need a drip pan if you use lean meat.

I plan on using my own meat loaf recipe, but using muffin tins sounds like a winning idea.

I use shredded carrots, barbeque sauce and horseradish with egg, & bread crumbs. also like to use meatloaf mix as meat instead of just ground beef

I have been using my muffin tins like this for years. It's a great way to make individual servings of stuffing as well, as meat loaves and mac & cheese. Happy cooking!!

It's a cute idea, but not very practical. You would need to use a cookie sheet under the muffin pan, to catch the drippings, and you will have a messy cleanup. I'll stick to my own recipie. Every one loves it! Even meat loaf haters.... once they "try" mine they always ask for "seconds". I love to tease them, and say that they have now been converted... LOL
