Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, ranch seasoning mix, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, pressing gently to shape each portion into mini meat loaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the tops of the mini meat loaves with a spoon or pastry brush.
Bake the meat loaves in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the meat loaves rest for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
