Easy Mini BBQ Meatloaf Dinner

Oh how we loved this easy mini bbq meatloaf dinner! It’s everything I look for in a meal.

It’s satisfying.

It’s nutritious.

It’s really, really easy.

Easy and healthy. THIS IS MY JAM!!!

So how do we make this easy mini bbq meatloaf dinner? Easy! (I told you that already…)

Step one: make meatloaf.

Step two: slather it with bbq sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.

Step three: DE.VOUR.

Because beef and bbq sauce and cheese is just a combo you don’t want to miss out on.

This easy mini bbq meatloaf dinner recipe takes a tad longer than most of my recipes (majority are under 30 minutes!) at 35 minutes total. It needs a full 25 minutes to bake, so there are a few options around this to still qualify as a weeknight meal.

Speaking of easy weeknight meals, when I’ve done polls in the past, many of you have told me that 30 minutes is your weeknight meal max. Which I totally get, and many of you also told me that 20 minutes is your weeknight meal max. Which I also totally get. So I aim to have most of my recipes come in at 15-30 minutes.

With a little prep, you could pull this one together a little quicker.

• Bake the whole meal ahead of time. Then you just need to re-heat when you are ready to eat.
• Prep vegetables so you just need to make meatloaf mix the day of.

Or make it on a Sunday when you’ve got a little more time.

And if you have any leftovers? I’d suggest a meatloaf sandwich. 🙂

Notes

• Get your kids involved! They can: mix veggies with oil and arrange on baking sheets.
• It’s important for the potatoes to be in about 1 inch pieces or they won’t be cooked through. Other ingredients can vary in size a bit.
