Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (85/15 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (for the mix)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for the mix)
  • For the Glaze: 1/4 cup ketchup
  • For the Glaze: 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • For the Glaze: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

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 breadcrumbs and milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl.
  4. Use your hands to gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing lightly to form a compact shape in each cup.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 1/4 cup ketchup, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard.
  7. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over the top of each mini meatloaf.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the juices run clear.
  9. Let the mini meatloaves rest in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For easier removal, line the muffin tin cups with paper liners before greasing.
  • You can substitute half the ground beef with ground pork or turkey for a different flavor profile.
  • These freeze well after cooling completely; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
