Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 cup Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.33 cup Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, quick-cooking oats, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a small loaf, about the size of your palm. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar until smooth. This will serve as the glaze for the meatloaves.
Spoon or brush the glaze mixture over the tops of each meatloaf, ensuring an even coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
