Easy Mini Meatloaf Recipe with Homemade BBQ Sauce

Step 1

Make Easy Chipotle-Honey BBQ Sauce:

Step 2

Combine all sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender and whir until smooth.

Step 3

If sauce is too thick, add water as needed to thin to desired consistency.

Step 4

Make Mini Meatloaves:

Step 5

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 6

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer, but using a wooden or stainless steel spoon works, too.

Step 7

Divide meat mixture evenly in an 8-mini-meatloaf pan OR into 12 regular sized muffin cups. No need to grease or line the pans.

Step 8

Liberally spread some of the chipotle barbecue sauce over the tops - you won't use all the sauce.

Step 9

Bake mini loaves for 25-30 minutes and muffin tin sized loaves for 20-25 minutes, until nicely brown and pulling away from the edges.

Step 10

Let sit about 5 minutes before serving with remaining barbecue sauce.
