Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Coat 2 muffin tins with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except BBQ sauce. Divide mixture evenly among 16-24 cups {depending on how large you want your mini loaves}. Press your thumb into the top of each loaf and top with a few teaspoons of barbecue sauce. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until center is 160F.
If you want to make a freezer meal out of it, place the cooked and cooled loaves {still in the pan} into the freezer until frozen. Then pop them out into a Ziploc bag and place in the freezer.
When you’re ready to cook, completely thaw. Place meatloaves on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 15 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. You can brush with some extra BBQ sauce before heating if you’d like.
