Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with non-stick muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until they are well combined.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing down gently to pack them in.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the topping glaze.
Spoon a small amount of the glaze over the top of each meat muffin, spreading it evenly with the back of the spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf muffins reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them with a fork or spatula.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
