- Distribute the mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, placing about 1/4 cup into each and pressing down lightly.

Notes
- Consider using whole wheat breadcrumbs instead of regular ones for added fiber in the mini meatloaves.
- Experiment with various types of mustard like whole grain or spicy brown to alter the dish’s flavor.
- For a spicier taste, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the meat mixture before baking.
