A huge success and new fan favorite right out of the gate! Now kids will expect this regularly like Taco Tuesdays. Not mushy, came out fully cooked, not dry either, very juicy. I used Panko bread crumbs & Kinder’s mild bbq sauce. For 2 lbs of ground beef (yielded about 18 meatloaf muffins), I used 2 eggs (vs 1.3 per ratio), about 1.5 cups panko and was conservative on bbq sauce in the mix. I prefer adding sauce to the top after 10 mins in the oven and then everyone can add more to taste on their plates. Will be browsing your recipes for more quick and easy ones. Thank you!

I’m so sorry, Shelly. After reading this, I made it again for my family using my recipe card, and I see where the problem may have been. My instructions were not clear on when and where to add the BBQ sauce. I’ve updated the recipe card for clarification.

Mushy mess. So disappointed because I was in a rush to make dinner for the kids, thinking 20 min would be perfect but its barley ready at 40 min now.

Hi Lauren. It should be tender, but not mushy. The only thing I can think that might be the issue is there was too much water in the sauce. I’ll be retesting with different bbq sauce to see if I get a different outcome.

Mine have been in the oven for 40mins. They’re up to temp but SO mushy it still seems like raw ground beef. Idk what I did wrong, they smell fantastic but idk if anyone is gonna want to eat a meatloaf that isn’t firm. I saw the comment below about potato flakes and that could probably solve the issue. I used the oats.

Oh, I’m sorry Marisa. Some bbq sauces are more watery than others. I think I need to add some tips and brand recommendations. I’ll work on that. Thank you for letting me know.

Followed the recipe exactly and they were so soft and mushy even after cooking them longer. They were not firm like the photos. Is it really supposed to have 1 1/2 cups of bbq sauce? It seemed like way too much.

In reply to Kim.

Hi Kim, thank you for bringing the recipe card to my attention. I’ll look to see if there is a setting that will allow readers to change the serving size. In this case I would double the ingredients and use 3 lbs of ground beef to feed your family.

inused to be able to edit the serving size now it won’t let me anymore. I have 5 of us… 2 of them are men who like to eat so I always put in 2lbs of beef and I think I would put in 8 or 9 servings so I’m not sure how much milk or oats I need to add since it won’t let me change the settings.

In reply to Aiko.

Hi Aiko, the egg helps with binding the ingredients, so unless you forgot to add it, the only thing I can think of is that you didn’t let it cool long enough before removing them from the pan.

It tasted good but wasn’t firm at all 🙁 What did I do wrong?

The mini size was so perfect now that it is just my husband and me at home. We froze some for another meal and they make a great lunch too!

Now that we are empty nesters, I’m always on the look out for recipes that will prepare several meals for us but are freezable. These were not only easy, but delicious and I fear we didn’t freeze as many as I’d hoped!

Such a yummy recipe! The whole family loved it. Love the mini size. I even freeze some leftovers for later!
