Cheesy, tangy, and super juicy, these mini loaves are a total treat.

For a fun play on the classic meat loaf, try our mini barbecue meat loaves. The robust flavor in these stands up well to small, individual portions, with every bite offering a sweet barbecue tang. And for another layer of flavor, each mini barbecue meat loaf is smothered in cheese (and you can’t go wrong with cozy cheddar cheese recipes!).
Both adults and children love meat loaf recipes, and these cute loaves are especially kid friendly. The little ones can even help fill the muffin tin with the ground beef filling!

Ingredients for Mini Barbecue Meat Loaf

• Stuffing mix: Many meat loaf recipes use bread crumbs to keep the loaf moist. Here, we use stuffing mix for a bit more texture and flavor.
• Barbecue sauce: You can’t have barbecue meat loaf without the barbecue sauce! Use a homemade barbecue sauce recipe, or pick your favorite store-bought barbecue brand.
• Ground beef: For moist, tender meat loaves, avoid leaner ground beef, and opt for an 80/20 ratio instead. This will keep your mini loaves nice and juicy.
