Servings: 12 meatloaf muffins
Ingredients
Meatloaf
- Cooking spray
- 1 lb ground beef 90/10
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¾ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 –4 tbsp ketchup
- ⅓ cup Romano or Parmesan cheese grated
- ⅓ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Warm water as needed (optional, for moisture)
Potatoes
- 3 –5 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix gently until just combined. If the mixture appears dry, add a small amount of warm water, mixing lightly.
- Divide the meat mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing gently to fill each cup about halfway.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange 4–5 potato slices over the top of each meatloaf portion.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each meatloaf and potato stack.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the meatloaf is fully cooked.
- Allow the meatloaf muffins to cool for 5 minutes. Run a butter knife carefully around the edges of each muffin cup to release, then remove and serve immediately.
