Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaves dense.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small loaf and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, press the meat mixture directly into 4 cups of a muffin tin.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.
Brush the glaze evenly over the top of each mini meatloaf.
Bake the mini meatloaves in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
