Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup ketchup with the remaining ingredients until well combined. Divide mixture among 6 cups of a 12-cup (4 ounce) muffin tin, spacing them evenly and gently compressing and mounding the tops. Brush tops with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup.
Transfer tin to oven; bake until inside temperature registers 170 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 45 minutes.
Remove from oven; let rest 5 minutes before removing from tin. Serve hot.
I LOVEEEEEEEE THIS RECIPE!. I just had to change a few things to get the caloric and sugar down a bit. QUITE A BIT in fact. First of all i used egg beaters instead of a whole egg. i used "whole grain sugar free bread", instead of any other bread and it has more fiber and bumps up the fiber grams. You can also use whole grain bread crumbs as well. Instead of using High sugar ketchep, you can use a low sodium low sugar kind which they have at specialtiy food stores.Last but not least, I used "fat free/ low sodium parmesan cheese instead of whole fat and High sodium cheese. The fat free cheese is a little tricky to work with BUT IT DOES WORK! Try this recipe your going to love it. I hope that Martha will read this and print it in her wonderful Food magazine. Its so worth It.
i make this all the time. instead of ketchup, i use honey bbq sauce. i mix about 2 tablespoons of sour cream and use seasoned bread crumbs in the mixture. these are my own little touches and my kid loves it!
This is an excellent recipe!! The muffin tin idea was novel to me and I really enjoy new twists on old favorites. Of course I had to add my own flares. I agree with William on using oatmeal instead of bread and have always done my meatloafs like that. Another addition was instead of mixing the cheese throughout, I like to make it a "stuffed" loaf with a layer of cheese (and/or mushrooms/peppers/asparagus or what ever else you have in the fridge) in the middle. With the muffin tins it makes it more like a treasure in the middle. It\'s a great way to incorporate more veggies in the meal.
Wow...this recipe is extremely tasty. I was a bit hesitant to try at first due to the ingredients. Afterall, who puts pickles in their meatloaf? (no need to answer that, I\'m sure it\'s been done before) So, I went out and bought a brand new meat thermometer just for this recipe. One word: Delicious!
My kids loved this recipe as well, and for as picky eaters as they are I didn\'t tell them that I substituted oatmeal for the bread, added a entire chopped pickle and added some dried parsley to the mix. It didn\'t matter...they loved this recipe.
Also, I recommend doubling this recipe and utilizing those muffin pans (you know you have them!) and you can freeze these convenient serving sized meatloaves for easy to prepare meals.
