FAQ
Q: Can I use a silicone muffin pan instead of metal?
Yes! Silicone pans work well and make removing the meatloaf muffins even easier. Just place the pan on a baking sheet for stability.
Q: How do I prevent the muffins from becoming greasy?
Use lean meat and place a slice of bread underneath each cup to absorb excess fat while baking.
Q: Can I make these ahead for meal prep?
Absolutely! These are perfect for batch cooking. Bake, cool, and store them individually for quick grab-and-go meals.
