THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY LAURAS LEAN, ALL OPINIONS ARE 100% MY OWN.   

 I’ve teamed up with Carusele to participate in the LaurasLean campaign, to make this Skinny Meatloaf Muffins using Laura’s 96% Lean Ground Beef.

What makes Laura’s Lean Beef different than other brands of beef?

 Unlike most other “natural” beef, Laura’s Lean product is a “Never Ever” offering, meaning their protein is sourced from suppliers that raise their cattle without ever using added hormones or antibiotics and are always vegetarian fed.

 Laura’s 96% Lean Beef is certified through the American Heart Association heart check program and meets USDA standards for “Extra Lean?”  That means each 4 oz. serving of Laura’s Lean contains less than 10 grams of fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams serving. 

Where can I find Laura’s Lean ground beef, patties or plant-based burgers?

Find Laura’s Lean ground beef or plant-based products near you using the Store Locator HERE.

 

What ingredients do I need to make these Skinny Meatloaf Muffins?

  • 96% lean ground beef -I use 96% Laura’s Lean ground beef. 
  • Garlic-minced 
  • Spices- dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, dried onion flakes or powder 
  • Bread crumbs- I like to use Italian style bread crumbs for additional flavor 
  • No sugar added ketchup- for inside the meatloaf and for topping
  • Worcestershire sauce- for added flavor 
  • Egg

Bake 20-25 minutes until the meatloaf muffins are cooked all the through and the tops are lightly golden.

Top each meatloaf muffin with a teaspoon of “no sugar added” ketchup and return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.

Hi! Would it be a problem to prepare these, refrigerate them for a few hours, and then bake them later in the day?

Hi Jessica

Yes, these are great to make in advance. Just cover and refrigerate- and then cook as directed. You may need to slightly increase the cooking time if they are chilled for a long time

Thank you!

I am going to try your recipe out tonight for dinner! Question for you- I do not like ketchup and think I will leave it out of the meatloaf muffins. Should I add anything in its place or will they taste fine without the ketchup?

Thanks so much, I love your recipes!

You don't mention spraying the muffin tin before baking. Would it be necessary to grease or spray? Thank you.

Hi Karen

Yes, I would recommend spraying the muffin tin. I will add that to the recipe notes.

Thank you so much!
