Mini Meatloaves are individual portions of seasoned ground meat baked until tender and juicy, then finished with a savory-sweet glaze. They’re easy to make, cook faster than a full loaf, and are perfect for a weeknight dinner served with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a simple salad.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 80/20 preferred
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup ketchup for glaze
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar for glaze
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 to 6 portions and shape into mini loaves. Place them on the prepared baking sheet or into the muffin tin.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spoon or brush the glaze over each mini meatloaf.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
