What do you get when dinner and dessert mix? You get BBQ Meatloaf Muffins with Sweet Potato Topping that are almost too cute to eat. Small in size but mighty in flavor. Meatloaf is delicious and comfortable, most of all, it’s also easy to make ahead, freezes well (both raw and fully cooked) and it’s a more economical way to get grass-fed beef into our diet because ground meat is way less expensive than steak. This recipe is simple with just five ingredients in the meatloaf (not including salt and pepper) and two ingredients in the topping. Just seven ingredients total!

Ingredients

Topping

1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tbsp. Coconut oil
2 Medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

Meatloaf

1/2 tsp. Black pepper
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Dried thyme
1/2 cup Barbecue sauce
3 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced
1 Small onion, minced
2 tsp. Coconut oil
1 1/2 pounds Ground beef

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place ground beef in a medium bowl and set aside. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
02

Add garlic, cook 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add onion-garlic mixture to ground beef. Add barbecue sauce, sea salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Using your hands or a spoon, mix well to combine. Divide meat mixture evenly among 12 wells of a muffin pan.
03

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in the center. While meatloaves are baking, steam sweet potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and puree sweet potatoes and coconut oil or butter in a food processor, or mash well with a fork.
04

Scoop topping onto meatloaves or fill a plastic with topping, trim the corner of the bag with scissors and pipe topping onto meatloaves. Or use a spoon to top. Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.
