Perfect for busy weeknights, these Tonight Mini Meatloaves combine hearty flavors with quick preparation for a delicious homemade dinner in just 40 minutes. Made with tender ground beef, a medley of savory seasonings, and a simple yet irresistible ketchup-brown sugar glaze, these individual meatloaves bake to juicy perfection in no time. The addition of finely diced onions and minced garlic infuses each bite with aromatic depth, while breadcrumbs and a splash of milk ensure a tender texture. Effortless to portion and ideal for family meals, these mini loaves are a modern twist on a classic comfort food. Serve them with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of roasted veggies for a meal that's as satisfying as it is easy to make!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a mini loaf about the size of your palm. Place the mini loaves on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and prepared mustard. This will serve as your glaze.
Brush the glaze evenly over the tops of the mini meatloaves using a spoon or pastry brush.
Bake the meatloaves in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the mini meatloaves with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
