How to Make Amazing Gluten Free Barbecued Meatloaf Minis
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all meatloaf ingredients (see below).
- Spoon the meatloaf mixture evenly into a standard 12-cup muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Alternatively, shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches).
- For muffin-size meatloaf minis, bake for 45 minutes. For a loaf pan meatloaf, bake for 60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
- While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the barbecue sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir frequently until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once the meatloaf is cooked through, generously spoon the barbecue sauce over the top.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
