Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Quick oats
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.66 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Prepared mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, oats, egg, minced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or your hands until everything is evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into 6-8 small loaf shapes (around 3 inches long each) and place them evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and prepared mustard until smooth. This will be your glaze.
Spoon or brush the glaze generously over the top of each meatloaf, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Bake the mini meatloaves in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
