Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using clean hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a small loaf, about the size of your palm. Place the mini meatloaves on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the sauce.

Step 5

Using a spoon or brush, spread a generous amount of the sauce over each mini meatloaf, reserving some sauce for later if desired.

Step 6

Bake the meatloaves in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad.
