Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense meat loaves.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf, roughly 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place the mini meat loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each loaf.
Brush the tops of each loaf with the additional 1/4 cup of ketchup to give them a glossy, slightly sweet finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the mini meat loaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
