A delightful twist on classic meatloaf, these mini skillet meatloaves are packed with flavor and perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Combine the milk, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, chili powder, and garlic in a large bowl.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor.
Add the ground beef to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix gently with your hands until combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the mixture into six oval-shaped loaves.
Use damp hands to prevent sticking while shaping the loaves.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the loaves for 3 minutes on each side until browned.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the loaves for a good sear.
Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by varying the sugar amount.
Brush the loaves with some of the glaze, add water to the skillet, cover, and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
Covering the skillet helps cook the loaves evenly.
Remove the loaves and thicken the remaining glaze in the skillet over high heat for 3-5 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the glaze from burning.
Serve the meatloaves drizzled with the hot glaze and enjoy.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
