As a mother of two boys and wife to a man who loves meat and potatoes, few meals are as successful as meatloaf. For years I’ve given up the traditional bread pan and prefer to make my meatloaf in a 12-cup muffin pan. Not only is it more fun to eat something in muffin form, it cooks in 1/3 the time! In fact, these Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins are ready in just 15 minutes. As an added bonus, these meatloaf muffin cups are naturally gluten-free, high-protein, and low-carb.

Ingredients

• ground beef: I like to use a ground sirloin, but ground chuck or even ground turkey would also work.
• Garlic: Nutty, bold, aromatic flavor that goes with almost anything.
• Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Gives the meatloaf a wonderfully tart, sour taste.
• BBQ seasoning: Typically a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and sometimes warm spices like chili powder and cumin.
• Parmesan cheese: To keep this dish gluten-free, the Parmesan cheese both adds flavor and acts as a binder to hold the meatloaf together.
• Green olives: Salty, spicy and sometimes nutty taste.
• Worcester sauce: Hot, savory and sweet, it gives the meatloaf a great tangy flavor reminiscent of a burger.
• Parsely: Fresh parsley gives the beef a wonderfully clean and peppery flavor.
• Ketchup: The classic sauce for a meatloaf, as well as a classic condiment for a burger!
• Dijon: Mixed with the ketchup, it refines the typical sauce and gives it a sharp taste.
• Cheddar cheese: Classic cheese flavor for a cheeseburger, melts on top of the meatloaf for wonderful flavor.

How to make Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins

To make your cheeseburger meatloaf muffins, start by adding your ground beef to a large bowl.

Then use a micro-slicer to rub your garlic cloves into the ground beef.

Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and grill seasoning.

Then drizzle over the Worcestershire sauce.

Next add the parmesan cheese.

And your chopped green olives.

Finish off with some salt and pepper and the fresh parsley,

Then use the best blending tool you have to blend everything together: your hands!

Once all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, fill a prepared muffin tin with the meat mixture.

Then, in a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and Dijon mustard.

Spread the sauce over the top of each meatloaf muffin.

Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each muffin and toss in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Allow to cool and remove from the muffin pan, serve garnished with extra parsley and enjoy your Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins!
