Mini Meatloaves
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/3–1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbsp ketchup
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Sauté the finely chopped onion in a small amount of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, garlic, parsley, panko, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the meat mixture among approximately 24 mini muffin cups, filling each generously and mounding the mixture slightly above the top.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Spoon or brush the glaze generously over the top of each mini meatloaf.
- Bake for approximately 12–16 minutes, or until the centers reach 160°F.
- If desired, brush with a little additional glaze and broil for 1–2 minutes for a more caramelized finish.
- Let rest for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
