Get ready to transform dinnertime with these irresistible Cheesy Mini Meatloaves! Packed with rich flavor, these individual-sized meatloaves are made with a tender blend of ground beef, savory onions, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce, then topped with a luscious glaze of ketchup and melty cheddar cheese. Perfectly portioned and ready in just 40 minutes, theyβre ideal for weeknight meals or casual gatherings. The golden, cheesy topping adds a comforting twist to this classic dish, while a sprinkle of fresh parsley elevates the presentation. Serve alongside mashed potatoes or a crisp salad for an easy, family-friendly dinner thatβs sure to become a household favorite.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the meatloaves from sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaves tender.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small loaf about 3-4 inches long and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup with 1 tablespoon of water to create a glaze. Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the tops of each meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the meatloaves from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each one.
Return the meatloaves to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the meatloaves are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160Β°F).
Allow the mini meatloaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
