Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, 1/4 cup of ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix to avoid tough meatloaves.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a small loaf approximately 3 inches long and 1.5 inches thick.
Place the mini meatloaves on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each loaf.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup with the brown sugar. Spoon this glaze evenly over the top of each meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
