Microwaved Meatloaf Mugs

This Quick and Easy Meatloaf Recipe for One Can Be Made Without an Oven

— January 6, 2015 — Lifestyle
This meatloaf recipe makes hardly a loaf. From Taste of Home, the microwaveable Meatloaf in a Mug is ideal for students craving home cooking, but who don't have access to an oven. The smaller portion is also better for those preparing meals for just themselves.

The quick meatloaf recipe only requires five ingredients, so it is fairly easy to make too. The cup-containing snack calls for quick cooking oats, an onion soup packet, milk, ketchup and ground beef. After everything is mixed together, you can microwave it in a mug. Using a meat thermometer might be a good idea, or else you can check to make sure no beef is still pink in color. The instructions suggest microwaving for 3 minutes.
