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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Form Mini Meatloaves: Evenly distribute the meat mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
