Apparently I’m on a muffin tin kick this autumn? I could be imagining it, but somehow smaller portions seem more manageable when there’s a kid to feed. He deemed these mini meatloaves “meat cupcakes” and I feel as though he couldn’t be more spot on. They’re ridiculously easy to throw together, use only one bowl,…
