Mini Meatloaf Magic: Quick, Easy, and Perfect for Any Night

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or muffin tin.

  2. Mix the Ingredients
    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the meatloaf tender.

  3. Shape the Mini Meatloaves
    Divide the mixture into 6–8 portions. Shape into small loaves by hand or press into a muffin tin for uniform sizes.

  4. Bake
    Place loaves on the baking sheet (or leave in muffin tin) and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  5. Add Optional Glaze
    Mix ketchup and brown sugar and brush over the meatloaves during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor.

  6. Rest and Serve
    Let mini meatloaves rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
