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 ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small loaf approximately 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, mustard, and an additional tablespoon of ketchup to make a glaze.
Brush the glaze mixture evenly over the top of each individual meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious, busy day individual meatloaves with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
