Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 0.25 cup Onion
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Mustard
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, ensuring you don’t overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a mini loaf about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place the mini meat loaves in a microwave-safe dish, ensuring they are spaced apart to cook evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the tops of each mini meat loaf using a spoon or pastry brush.
Cover the dish lightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small corner uncovered to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on HIGH for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of each meat loaf reaches 160°F (70°C). Cook times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
Let the meat loaves rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
