I made mini meatloaves using my muffin tin and the following recipe (from Betty Crocker Cookbook and some modifications by me):
Mini Meatloaf
1. Heat oven to 350. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
2. Mix in large bowl (or Kitchenaid mixer) 1 1/2 pounds ground meat, 1 cup milk, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp mustard, 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper, 1 clove garlic, finely chopped, 1 large egg, 3 slices bread, torn into pieces (or 1/2 cup bread crumbs or 3/4 cup quick cooking oats), 1 small or 1/2 large chopped onion, 1/2 tsp Frank's Red Hot. *note: I don't measure the spices, I just estimate and throw them in, measurements are approximate.
3. Scoop meat mixture into muffin tins and bake for 30 minutes (may want to put a cookie sheet under the muffin tin to catch any spillage), or until loaves are no longer pink in center and thermometer reads 160 degrees when inserted in center of loaves in middle of muffin pan.
While the meatloaves were baking, I made skillet potatoes (mostly because I didn't feel like making mashed potatoes).
In my 12" cast iron skillet, I put 1-2 Tbsp olive oil and sauteed the other half of the chopped onion from the meatloaf recipe and 1 clove of minced garlic over medium low heat. I sliced three scrubbed but unpeeled Idaho potatoes and then quartered them and added them to the onions and garlic. I turned the heat up to medium and cooked for about 5 minutes. I also had some fresh spinach and red peppers in the fridge and I chopped the pepper while the potatoes cooked.
The potato/onion mixture was sticking to the bottom of the pan, so I added a splash of soy sauce and some beer (maybe 1/3 of a cup), figuring that it would be more flavorful than water. Then I added the red peppers and the spinach, stirring well and putting the lid on the skillet. I stirred every 3-5 minutes, to make sure all of the spinach wilted and everything was cooked through.
You could add any veggies you have left over to this mixture, just remember that the potatoes will take the longest to cook through.
