Meatloaf Muffins with BBQ Sauce
Description
A zesty mixture of salsa and BBQ sauce does double duty in these mini meatloaf muffins, flavoring the ground sirloin mixture and acting as a sweet glaze on top.
Ingredients
•
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
•
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
•
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into large chunks
•
1 large egg
•
1/2 teaspoon milk
•
1 cup barbecue sauce
•
1/2 cup tomato salsa
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
•
1 3/4 pounds ground sirloin
•
1 cup plain bread crumbs
•
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (such as McCormick® Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning)
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil.
2
Combine onion and bell pepper in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
3
Whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl. Mix barbecue sauce, salsa, and Worcestershire sauce together in a separate bowl.
4
Combine ground sirloin, onion-pepper mixture, bread crumbs, and steak seasoning in a large bowl. Add egg mixture and 1/2 of the barbecue mixture. Mix with your hands until well combined.
5
Use an ice cream scoop to fill the prepared muffin cups with the meat mixture. Top each mini loaf with a spoonful of the remaining barbecue mixture.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
