- Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley, crispy fried onions, or drizzle a touch more BBQ sauce on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy these irresistible, smoky, and savory “cupcakes” that combine all your favorite comfort food flavors in one bite!
Tips for Success
- Use high-quality BBQ sauce: A smoky or bourbon-infused BBQ sauce complements the meat beautifully.
- Don’t overmix: Mixing the meat mixture too much can make your meatloaf dense and tough — stir until just combined.
- Make ahead: Shape the meatloaf cupcakes in advance, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Serving idea: Pair with roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
