MEATLOAF MUFFINS WITH OATS

Meatloaf Muffins with Oats image

Meatloaf in a muffin tin cooks in about half the time, and this recipe is a little different. I find it easier on the stomach than my mom's meatloaf, because I saute the onions and bell pepper. Seal leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze. Freezes really well for quick supper later!

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
¾ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 pound ground turkey
½ pound mild bulk pork sausage
¾ cup rolled oats
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup finely chopped carrot
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ketchup, or as needed
3 slices bacon, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and bell pepper in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Combine sauteed onion mixture, turkey, sausage, oats, 1/2 cup ketchup, carrot, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix lightly and thoroughly.
Spoon mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin using an ice cream scoop, filling each to the top, mounding if necessary. Top each with a drizzle of ketchup and about 1/5 slice of bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are browned on tops and no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes.
