BBQ Mini Meatloaf Recipe – Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, THM S

Most of the recipes I create are to please my family at dinnertime. I have 2 kids who love meatloaf and BBQ sauce, 3 who love cheddar, and all 4 love bacon. Making a recipe for mini meatloaf in a muffin tin was a popular dinner in my house.

Therefore, this is a pretty popular meal in my house. I’ve wanted to try this recipe for mini meatloaf in muffin tins for a while and I finally did tonight. I love these as mini meatloaves because everyone gets a good amount of the barbecue bacon cheddar topping.

Here are some great sugar free BBQ sauce recipes:

    Hi! I made these last night and they were very much enjoyed by my 4 kids and husband! I only had one issue which can be fixed! You said to put the meat in muffin tins. And mine is slightly deeper than some tins. But I ended up with a huge puddle of grease in the bottom of my oven and the muffin tin was exploding with grease which I sopped up with paper towels. Next time I will place a large sheet pan underneath the muffin tin to catch the grease! Otherwise it was great and tasty!

        Oh right! I forgot when I wrote that the recipe called for turkey and pork! That makes sense! I used beef!

      No, it will vary based on the BBQ sauce you use. If you are looking for the carb count the only ingredient that should have carbs is the BBQ sauce. The rest is just meat, egg, cheese, and a small amount of diced onion.
