Description
This mini meatloaf recipe with Ketchup Glaze offers a savory, high-protein meal perfect for busy weeknights and easy meal prep. It’s a comforting, perfectly portioned dish that’s simple to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup milk or broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, milk or broth, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form Mini Loaves: Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions. Shape each into an individual mini meatloaf, about 3 inches long, and place them spaced apart on your prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare Ketchup Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Glaze and Bake: Brush a generous amount of the prepared ketchup glaze over each mini meatloaf. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached.
Notes
For extra convenience, bake in a muffin tin for easy meal prep and portion control. Avoid overmixing the meat to prevent a dry texture. To ensure the glaze adheres well, apply it during the last 10-15 minutes of baking, allowing it to set beautifully.
