Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until everything is well combined, but do not overmix to avoid tough meat loaves.
Evenly divide the mixture among the 12 muffin tin cups, pressing gently to compact the mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients: 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spoon a small amount of the topping mixture onto each meat loaf and spread it evenly over the surface.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat loaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the meat loaves rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing them using a spoon or offset spatula.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, and enjoy!
