Instructions
Place all ingredients for meatloaves into large bowl, and using your hands, mix until combined.
Divide meat mixture into a 12-section muffin tin that has been sprayed liberally with non-stick cooking spray. (I use a #20 scoop for this.) Meat mixture sure fill the muffin cups to about the top.
In small bowl, whisk together glaze ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Spread glaze onto tops of each meatloaf muffin.
Bake uncovered in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 25-30 minutes.
Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve!
To freeze before cooking:
Prepare as directed through step 2. Place filled muffin tin into freezer for several hours or overnight. Once the mini meatloaves are frozen solid, remove them from the muffin tin and place them in a ziptop gallon freezer bag, then return them to the freezer for storing. To cook, remove meatloaf muffins from freezer and place into a prepared muffin tin. Allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Then continue with steps 3-6 above.
To freezer after cooking:
Prepare as directed but skip steps 3 & 4. After meatloaf muffins have cooled, place them gently into a ziptop gallon freezer bag, and set them carefully in the freezer for several hours or overnight, but be sure to lay them flat and not put anything on top of them. (Once they are frozen solid, you can move the bag or place other items on top.) To cook, remove the meatloaf muffins from the freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Place muffins into prepared muffin tin, prepare the glaze as directed, and spread glaze over tops of muffins. Heat in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until heated throughout.
