I love these ground beef meatloaf muffins. I have always hated how long it takes for meatloaf to cook. There’s nothing more draining than working a long day, having that hankering for some good ol’ comfort food, and then waiting an hour to an hour and a half to start eating.
I discovered this little secret a few years ago. These little meatloaf muffins are packed with all the deliciousness that is meatloaf yet are ready in half the time!
The addition of flaxseed to this recipe provides a great boost to your fiber intake, and it’s an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
