"Cooking the meat loaf in muffin tins decreases the cooking time, making them much easier to make on a weeknight. Plus they are cute and fun! Make an indentation with your thumb in the center of each meatloaf to keep them from shrinking and drying out."

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan filled with water. Bring to a boil; cook 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.While the potatoes are cooking, mix the meat loaf ingredients.

Return the potatoes to the pan. Add the buttermilk (or milk and sour cream), salt, garlic powder, and cheese; mash with a potato masher to desired consistency. Keep warm. (You can do this while the mini meat loaves bake.)

Coat 8 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Step 7

Combine sausage, sirloin, carrot, green onions, panko, black pepper, and egg in a large bowl, stirring just until combined.

Step 8

Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Make a 1/2-inch deep indentation in the center of each meat loaf. Top each meat loaf with 2 teaspoons barbecue sauce (optional).

Step 9

Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°.
