I love my father-in-law, so of course I happily obliged. It also helps that the meatloaf is super easy to make! For the kids, I made some meatloaf muffins \u2013 same ingredients with just a few changes in the directions. I had also made these meatloaf muffins for a church Thanksgiving potluck earlier in the week. There were no leftovers, so I guess that they were good!<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m making the meatloaf muffins to eat at home, I use my regular muffin tin. When I\u2019m making them to take someplace else, I just buy an aluminum tin so that I can simply \u201cbake and take\u201d. That way, I don\u2019t have to be concerned about waiting around to make sure that I get my tin back. My kids are the ones who usually like to close down a party\u2026not me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div class=\"print-this-button-shell\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"print-this-button\" onClick=\"parent.location='https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/easy-meatloaf-muffins\/?printthis=1&printsect=1'\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print This!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Print This Section 1 Start -->\n<div class=\"print-this-content\">\n<p><strong>Mighty Easy Meatloaf Muffins<\/strong><br>\n<em>Yields: 10 meatloaf muffins<br>\n<\/em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br>\nIngredients:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd medium onion, chopped<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd medium green pepper, chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 lb of ground beef<\/li>\n<li>1 slice of the end of a bread loaf, crumbled up (or you can use bread crumbs)<\/li>\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup barbecue sauce (1\/4 cup for the mixture; \u00bc cup for the topping)<\/li>\n<li>Seasonings, to match your tastes (I like to include 1\/2 an onion soup mix pack with my other seasonings \u2013 seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Directions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and drain any excess liquid. Cover the meat with 1\/4 cup of barbecue sauce.
