𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘇𝗲:

1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Preheat the oven and prepare the muffin pan : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or oil. This will ensure the mini meatloaves come out easily after baking.

2. Prepare the meatloaf mixture : In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef , breadcrumbs , milk , ketchup , chopped onion , Worcestershire sauce , egg , garlic powder , dried parsley , salt, and pepper . Mix everything together until well combined, but be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough. The breadcrumbs and milk help keep the meatloaf moist and tender.

3. Shape and place the meatloaf in the muffin pan : Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing the mixture down lightly to form mini meatloaves. Each cup should be filled nearly to the top. These perfectly portioned meatloaf muffins cook faster than a traditional meatloaf and are fun to serve!

4. Prepare the glaze : In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup , brown sugar , and Dijon mustard until smooth. Spoon about a tablespoon of glaze over the top of each meatloaf muffin, spreading it out evenly. The sweet and tangy glaze adds extra flavor and gives the meatloaf a shiny, golden finish.

5. Bake the meatloaf muffins : Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf muffins are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). The glaze should be slightly caramelized on top, giving the mini meatloaves a deliciously rich flavor.

6. Rest and serve : Once baked, remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the meatloaf muffins rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors set and makes the muffins easier to remove from the pan. Serve the meatloaf muffins warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. These mini meatloaves are perfect for portion control and are great served with mashed potatoes or a side salad.
