Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined, but be careful not to overmix as this can make the meat loaf tough.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing each portion slightly to ensure it's firmly packed.
Top each mini meat loaf with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the mini meat loaves to rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a spoon or spatula.
Serve warm, and enjoy your cheesy meat loaf minis with your favorite sides!
