MY KIDS ATE VEGGIES!!! These were really tasty, pretty easy to whip up and right on track for my current program, The Master’s Hammer and Chisel. Basili and the boys really enjoyed these too, so I will consider that a win! I have made these a couple times and the second time, I made them with Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower ‘Potatoes’. Talk about a hearty winter meal!
The serving size for this recipe is 3 ‘muffins’. I would suggest you cut 3 pieces of mozzarella and measure them in your blue container. For each row on your muffin tin – one serving, 4 rows, 4 servings – measure the cheese so you don’t go over on your blues. I put all of the ingredients (except for the mozzarella cheese) into a bowl and mixed it well with my hands (remove your rings!). I formed 12 large, pretty equal meat balls. I took one ball and flattened it out a little bit and wrapped the meatloaf mixture around the mozzarella cube. The cheese will be in the center of your meatloaf. DELICIOUS.
You can get silicon liners for your pan – I didn’t have any, so I sprayed mine with EVOO spray. When the meatloaf muffins were formed, I whipped up the sauce and topped each muffin with about 1 tablespoon. Pop them in the oven and enjoy!

- In a separate, small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
- Portion a little less then 1/4 cup, with meat and add a mozzarella piece to the center and roll into a ball and place in muffin tin. Make 12 meatloaf muffins. Top with sauce.
- Bake muffins for 20 minutes, remove from oven and wait about 5 minutes to serve.

Do you know the calories by chance?
I do not…I don’t count calories, just containers for the 21 Day Fix! 🙂
What is Broccoli slaw?
Is the broccoli slaw a recipe? Not familiar with it.
You should be able to find it in the produce section at your grocery – probably by the bagged salad. 🙂
Do you use a mini muffin tin or a cupcake size tin?
Cupcake size. 🙂
Would old fashioned oats work for this?
