1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef & pork/turkey)
½ cup breadcrumbs (or oat flour for gluten-free)
¼ cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
1 egg
¼ cup finely diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Glaze
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Meatloaf Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning until just combined.
3. Shape the Mini Meatloaves
Divide the mixture into 6–8 equal portions and shape them into small loaves.
Place each mini meatloaf in a muffin tin or arrange on a baking sheet.
4. Make the Glaze & Bake
In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Brush or spoon the glaze over the top of each mini meatloaf.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
5. Serve & Enjoy
Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a side salad!
Notes
Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup for a smoky glaze.
