Equipment

Ingredients
Meatloaf Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground Meat (like a mix of turkey and pork)
- 1 small Onion finely diced
- 1 Egg
- 2 ounces Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder (optional, for a little kick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 ounces Cheddar Cheese cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup Cooked Bacon Crumbles
Topping Ingredients
- 1 ounce Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce (for topping)
- 2 ounces Shredded Cheddar Cheese (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Cooked Bacon Crumbles (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine all the meatloaf ingredients: ground meat, diced onion, egg, 2 ounces of BBQ sauce, dried minced garlic, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cubed cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup bacon crumbles. Mix thoroughly but avoid overworking the meat.
- Divide this mixture evenly into 12 portions and press them into a standard-sized muffin tin. Bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, carefully take the muffin tin out of the oven. Drizzle the remaining 1 ounce of sugar-free BBQ sauce over each mini meatloaf. Then, sprinkle the 2 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons of bacon crumbles on top of each.
- Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Let them cool slightly before serving, perhaps with a side of extra BBQ sauce for dipping!
