Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Gently press the mixture down to form a compact, uniform shape in each cup.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
  5. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over the top of each mini meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Baking time is shorter than a full loaf because these are individual meatloaf servings.
  7. Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Let the mini meatloaves rest in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite sides for a quick dinner solution.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the meat mixture before forming the portions.
  • These meatloaf muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • If you prefer a BBQ mini meatloaf, substitute the glaze ingredients with 1/2 cup of your favorite store-bought BBQ sauce.
