Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 2 pounds Ground beef, (lean)
  • 1 small White onion, (finely minced)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ cup Ketchup

Glaze

  • ¼ cup Ketchup
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely minced white onion, eggs, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and ½ cup of ketchup. Gently mix everything together using your hands until evenly combined.
  3. Form Mini Meatloaves: Evenly distribute the meat mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard until smooth. Spoon this mixture evenly over the top of each mini meatloaf.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the meatloaves are cooked through and have reached a safe internal temperature.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the mini meatloaves to cool and settle for several minutes before removing them from the tin and serving.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the meatloaves moist but not greasy.
  • Ensure meatloaves are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F for safe consumption.
  • You can substitute bread crumbs with crushed crackers or oats if preferred.
  • Glaze can be adjusted to taste with more or less sugar or mustard depending on your preference.
  • These mini meatloaves freeze well; reheat thoroughly before serving.
