Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, panko breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup (1/4 cup), Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Using clean hands, gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the meatloaf tough.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Press the mixture gently into each cup, leveling the tops.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard until smooth. Spoon about a tablespoon of the topping mixture onto each meatloaf muffin and spread it evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf muffins reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the muffin tray from the oven and let the meatloaf muffins rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing them using a small spatula or fork.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
