1.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously coat with cooking spray or canola oil the insides and bottoms of enough standard-size nonstick muffin tins to make 24 individual loaves.
2.
In a large bowl, add the beef or turkey, onion, tomato sauce, oats, eggs and pepper. Use a spatula to mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Alternatively, place ingredients in a gallon size Ziploc® Brand Storage Bag, remove air and seal tightly before squeezing and rolling ingredients to mix them thoroughly.
3.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of meatloaf mixture into each of the muffin tins and press the mixture into the cups.
4.
Bake the Minis at 375 degrees F until they're cooked through and the tops are lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Remove Minis from the oven to wire racks. Serve hot or cool loaves completely and refrigerate in a Ziploc® Brand container or freeze in a Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bag.
This recipe can easily be halved, making 12 individual loaves or 6 servings of 2 loaves each.
