Have you ever made mini meatloaf muffins?
You just take your favorite meatloaf recipe and bake it in muffin tins and voila – meatloaf muffins!
My current favorite meatloaf has just 6 ingredients – it’s a modification of Lipton’s Souperior Meat Loaf made with a package of dry onion soup mix – a staple in my Mom’s pantry when I was growing up.
Using a package of soup mix ensures that your meatloaf will be full of flavor without all the work involved with peeling and chopping onions.
Recipe Notes
If you are a purist and prefer to not use onion soup mix, you can always make this WW Meatloaf Recipe and just bake it in muffin tins instead!
To make my meatloaf muffins a little healthier and lower in calories, I like to use quick cooking oats instead of bread crumbs, egg whites instead of whole eggs, and diced tomatoes instead of water.
