Best Mini Mes Meatloaf With A Twist Recipes

MINI ME'S- "MEATLOAF WITH A TWIST"

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450*
• 2. In the 1/2 cup of ketchup-mix together ketchup and brown sugar. I use a fork to mix this,making sure I get all the lumps out.
• 3. In another bowl mix all of the remaining ingredients. You can now add your ketchup and brown sugar reserving 1/4 cup to brush on the tops when your meat loaves are finished baking. I usually mix more than a 1/2 cup and a little more sugar, using the full 1/2 cup in my mixture and still have 1/4 cup to brush on the tops of the loaves when finished baking
• 4. Lightly spray muffin pan with cooking spray. Press or roll your meat mixture into 12 balls. I roll mine into mini meatloaf balls. Place in muffin tin. You can now brush some of the ketchup and brown sugar mixture on tops saving enough to brush the tops again when they have finished baking. I place my muffin tin on a cookie pan with sides in to the oven. In case the juices spill out while baking
• 5. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 160*F. Remove from oven. Poor any excess grease off, brush the tops with remaining ketchup and sugar. Remove from muffin pan and place mini loaves on a platter layered in paper towels. These are delicious with my homemade mashed potatoes!! Enjoy!

MEATLOAF WITH A RANCH TWIST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the vegetable juice, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, sage, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Gradually sprinkle the bread crumbs into the meat while mixing so the crumbs are distributed evenly throughout; add the egg and milk and continue mixing. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer to a loaf pan. Pour about half the sauce over the meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cut the meatloaf into 6 even slices. Pour the remaining sauce over the slices to serve.
