Why We Love This Recipe

  • It’s ready in just 30-minutes.
  • You can prep it ahead of time and have them ready to pop in the oven.
  • It makes the perfect individual-sized single-serve portions.
  • It’s a freezer-friendly and family-friendly recipe.

Meatloaf Ingredients

Clear glass bowl with the raw ingredients to make muffin tin meatloaf
  • Ground Pork and Ground Beef – Many markets sell what they call Meatloaf Mix which is a combination of ground pork and beef. If you can buy a prepackaged meatloaf mix, use it in this recipe. If you cannot find a repacked mix, buy the ground meat separately.
  • Panko Bread Crumbs – I recommend using plain and not flavored bread crumbs for this recipe.

Meatloaf Sauce Ingredients

Let’s Make Muffin Tin Meatloaf

  • Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix all of the meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to portion out individual-size meatloaf balls.
  • Place the balls into the individual muffin tin slots.
  • Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove the meatloaves from the muffin tin and let them sit for 3-4 minutes on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess liquid or grease.
  • Serve topped with tangy-sweet meatloaf sauce.

Freezer-Friendly Recipe

Freeze Meatloaf Raw

  • Make the individual meatloaf balls.
  • Place them on a cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze overnight.
  • The next day, place the individual meatloaves into a zip-top bag or airtight container.
  • Freeze for 2-3 months.

Defrost and Cook Raw Meatloaves

  • Place frozen meatloaves in the refrigerator overnight to thaw.
  • Bake in a muffin tin at 400° for 20-25 minutes.

Freeze Meatloaf Cooked

  • Bake the meatloaves according to the directions.
  • Let them cool to room temperature.
  • Place them in a zip-top bag or airtight container.
  • Freeze for 3-4 months.

Reheat Cooked Meatloaves

  • Thaw frozen meatloaves in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Microwave for 1 minute. If needed, heat again in 30-second increments.
  • Or, reheat in the oven at 350° for 15-20 minutes.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • When forming any type of meatball or meatloaf, be sure not to over-work the mixture. Use a gentle folding method using clean hands, to mix.
  • To spray any casserole dish, muffin tin, or pan with non-stick spray, open the door of the dishwasher, place the dish on the door, and spray non-stick spray. Any excess spray will wash off the next time you wash a load of dishes.
  • I like to serve these with mashed potatoes and peas.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
