Ingredients
1.5 lbs ground beef (85/15 ratio)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely diced
1 large egg
0.5 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, diced onion, egg, and half of the garlic powder.
Mix the ingredients gently by hand until just combined to ensure a tender texture.
Divide the meat mixture evenly into the six muffin tin wells or small ramekins.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ketchup and brown sugar to create the glaze.
Brush the glaze generously over the top of each mini meatloaf.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notes
Do not overwork the meat mixture when combining to keep the loaves tender. If you prefer extra intensity, substitute the garlic powder with two cloves of freshly minced garlic.
