Meatloaf:
- Cooking spray
- 1 pound ground beef (90/10)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2–4 tablespoons ketchup
- 1/3 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Warm water (optional, if mixture is too dry)
Potatoes:
- 3–5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Combine meatloaf ingredients: In a bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, cheese, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until just combined. Add a little warm water if the mixture seems too dry.
- Fill muffin tin: Divide meat mixture evenly among muffin cups, pressing to cover the bottom.
- Prepare potatoes: Toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Top meatloaf: Arrange potato slices on top of the meatloaf in each muffin cup.
- Bake: Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Cool and serve: Let cool for 5 minutes. Use a butter knife to loosen the edges and carefully remove meatloaf muffins from the tin. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ground beef with a lower fat content for less grease.
- To prevent sticking, use a non-stick muffin tin and spray it well with cooking spray.
- Do not overwork the meat mixture, or it may become tough.
- If the meatloaf mixture seems dry, add a small amount of water.
- Slice potatoes thinly to ensure they cook through.
- Add cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.
- To make the recipe gluten-free, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour.
