The challenge: make something that is family friendly using
the Reynolds baking cups. Use only
ingredients that you have in your kitchen.

As most moms know, there are many days when we have to make
dinner with what we have on hand. Most
of the time I would rather poke pins in my eyes rather than take my 4-year-old
son with me grocery shopping. As cute as he is (see pictures below), he is
pretty much the worst when it comes to going to the grocery store. “MOM!
I want that! MOM can we buy
that? MOM, I want to get out of the
cart! MOM, I’m sooooo bored!” Then for some reason, whenever I have him
with me I always choose the line with the slowest cashier. Soooooo, I am pretty much an expert at
making dinner with limited resources…it’s the easier option for me.

This mini-meatloaf recipe will not only get a thumbs up from
your kids, it will leave you with plenty of time to get everything else
done. It is super quick and easy to put
together and the Reynolds Baking Cups make cleanup a cinch!

Then serve! I used

What a relief.

These mini meatloaves would go well with mashed potatoes and
some salad or broccoli. My daughter
literally could NOT get enough of these.

Could these be made in an air fryer? If so, what temperature and timing do you suggest?
Still wondering.

I’m sorry I haven’t tried these in the air fryer. But my guess is it would be 12 minutes at 400 degrees
I loved this and so did my family. Thank you!!
I LOVE this recipe! We have been doing these for years.
Good luck! This looks like a winner to me. I love the Reynolds cups. The site's looking great.
Wow, we must be on the same wave length. I was just thinking today about making meat loaf in cupcakes. By the way, leftover meatloaf can be used in many leftover recycled dishes, and this makes that even easier.
