Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, 2 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overmix to avoid a tough texture.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, pressing it down gently to shape individual meatloaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the sweet and sour glaze.
Spoon the glaze evenly over the tops of the meatloaves, spreading it with the back of the spoon for full coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves registers 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, allow the meatloaves to rest in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing them with a spoon or small spatula.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables, or cool completely and store in an airtight container for meal prep.
