Mixed Vegetable Meatloaf Muffins Recipe

March 17, 2014 by Nicole 28 Comments

You know how much I love fast and easy dinner recipes. My family really likes to eat meatloaf, but it can take an hour or more to bake. I found out that I can cut baking time in half by making mini meatloafs using my muffin tins. That last sentence has lots of M’s in it! Mmmm…probably because that’s what your family is going to say when they eat these Veggie Meatloaf Muffins.

Did you know that you can substitute oats (uncooked) for bread crumbs in a meatloaf recipe? Yes, you can! And that’s the way I like to do it because oats help boost nutrition. Something else I like to do is add mixed vegetables to the meatloaf.

I love finding ways to get my kids to eat more vegetables – and veggie meatloaf muffins have them baked right in. My kids also love when I put ketchup on top. 

Mixed Vegetable Meatloaf Muffins Recipe

makes about 18 muffins

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup Quaker Old-Fashioned or Fast Cooking Oats (uncooked)
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 10 oz. frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp. Pepper (optional)
  • Optional: More ketchup for the topping

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Combine ground beef, oats, ketchup, mixed vegetables, salt, pepper and egg in a medium sized bowl and mix well. I use my stand mixer to make the job even easier.
  3. Press meatloaf mixture into muffin cups until filled.
  4. Bake meatloaf muffins for 30 minutes or until meat is done in the center.
  5. ***Optional Ketchup Topping Directions: After the meatloaf muffins have baked for 20 minutes, take them out of the oven and top with a squirt of ketchup. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until meat is done in the center.

    These look great especially with the added vegetables. I have always used Quacker Oats in meatlof, thats the way my Mother did it too! And catsup topping isnt optional in our house, gotta have it. I bet too if you cut these in half sideways they would make excellent meatloaf sliders!

    This is a great recipe. I love how you can put veggies into the meatloaf. I think my kids may actually eat veggies without complaining this way.

    OMG! I’d completely forgotten this! My grandmother use to make a veggie meatloaf that was a family favorite – and of course – she made it as the standard loaf – and I just love the adorable cupcake style presentation (which also makes it perfect for potlucks, picnics, buffets – birthday parities!)

    I think maybe my Grandma’s recipe did use (Quaker) Oats (is there any other brand???) – but I already know your recipe will be quantum leaps better because she used CANNED Mixed Veggies (I don’t think frozen was an option back then! – At least not in HER world!)

    So I thank you for the recipe – and for all the happy memories seeing it brings!

      Thanks, Jamie! My family really likes this recipe. Maybe it’s the muffin part that makes it more fun? I don’t know, but they do tend to eat it better shaped that way. Have a great weekend! -Nicole

      That reminds me, my kids love having the baked scrambled eggs in muffin form. So glad you said that! We are going to be eating more breakfasts once school starts, so we need lots of ideas.

    This is a wonderful way to get the kids to eat vegetables. My kids LOVE my meatloaf, but I haven’t made it in a very long time. I like how this one seems to have a more healthy concept to it.

    Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty.
