    These can be easily customized for picky eaters, different family member's calorie range, etc.

    Example:

    basic as original (with or without veggie adds)

    Make a little "bowl" in the top of the muffin
    add a teaspoon or so of spagetti sauce
    in the last few minutes of baking, grate some mozerella or parmesan cheese and brown

    OR

    Make a little "bowl" in the top of the muffin
    add a teaspoon or so of Salsa
    grate pepperjack or colby

    OR

    get creative!

    You can mix and match depending on your household's tastes. They reheat well, too, so you can make up a bunch for those nights when no one has time to prep a good meal.

    These sound awesome...thanks for sharing. Sounds like something my son would eat too. I'm always cooking for 2 households.

    I would be very surprised if a kid wouldn't like them... I was trying to think of how I would sneak in more veggies though.

    I just saw a recipe on cooking channel where they added shredded carrots and celery to ground chiken burger meat mixture, so I'm sure it would work for meatloaf as well.

    Tried it, these are awesome. Portioned out, good for leftovers. I add tons of sauteed onion, garlic, and mushroom. The saute step adds more flavor.

    Oh I like this idea.

    I like anything that's portioned already and I don't have to think too much.

    Awesome idea -- particularly good for those 'on the go' times......I'd have to substitute ground turkey but I bet they'd be equally as good. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!!

    Bump! I just made some of my own meatloaf muffins! I love anything in a muffin shape, it helps SO much with portion control. My version this month came out to 87-90 calories each. I wanted to share my meatloaf tips,


    I mix lean ground beef and lean turkey, 1lb of beef and 1.25lb of turkey makes me about 21 muffins

    I found you don't need to use eggs! I use tomato paste (no salt!)- half of the mini can will do per pound of meat and add my own spices

    If you want to add a couple more calories, cut up a cheesestick (cheddar, motz, cojack) an press it into the middle of the muffins when you bake, makes for an ooey-gooey surprise for the kiddos!

    I love the idea of salsa- what type do you all suggest? Any low-sodium store brands?
