How to Make Sheet Pan Mini Meatloaves
This recipe includes a deliciously easy sauce to top the mini meatloaves with, we’ve added some low carb vegetables to make it a complete meal for the family. Nutrition info is also available below if you decide to skip the vegetables.
Ingredients
For the sauce you need tomato puree, low carb brown sugar substitute, I used Lakanto, coconut aminos and water.
For the meatloaves you need both ground beef and ground pork, crushed pork rinds, I like the PorkKing brand, mozzarella, eggs and seasonings.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 356F / 180 C / 160 fan.
Grease a large rimmed sheet pan or line with parchment paper.
Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, add the beef, pork, pork rinds, tbsp of sauce and optional cheese. Mix with your hands to combine.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder using a fork.
Add the egg mix to the meat and mix with your hands to fully combine.
Split the meat into individual pieces and shape into mini meat loaf shapes.
Note: serving size is 2 meat loaves per serving. Therefore, if making a recipe with 4 servings, you would make 8 mini meat loaves. If making a recipe with 2 servings, you would make 4 mini meat loaves.Chop the veggies into chunks and place on the baking tray. Toss with olive oil and salt.
Arrange the meat loaves in-between vegetables on the sheet pan.
Spoon the remaining sauce over meat loaves. Bake for 30 minutes or until the meat loaves are cooked through to your liking. Turn the vegetables once during cooking, draining off any bits that come out of the meat after about 20 minutes.
Cut one meat loaf in half to check that it’s fully cooked (the internal temperature if using a meat thermometer should be 175F).
Can I bake Mini Meatloaves in a Muffin Pan Instead?
If you don’t want the vegetables added to this dinner and just want to make the mini meatloaves, no problem!
You can make these mini meatloaves in a standard 12 capacity muffin pan if you prefer. Make sure to grease the muffin pan generously to avoid sticking.
Follow the recipe as is and baking time will also be exactly the same.

Is tomato puree the same thing as tomato paste? Or crushed tomatoes?
Just like crushed tomatoes
