Make quick, portion-controlled mini meatloaf muffins perfect for family dinners or meal prep. This easy recipe uses a simple sweet and tangy glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for the mix)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for the glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for the glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (for the glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of ketchup. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing lightly to form a compact shape.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
  5. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over the top of each mini meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the glaze is set.
  7. Let the mini meatloaves rest in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store cooled meatloaves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or a mix of beef and pork for the ground beef.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.
