These savory mini meatloaf bites are a delightful twist on the classic comfort food, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, milk, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, and salt.
Mix gently to avoid compacting the mixture.
Add the ground beef to the bowl and mix until just combined. Form the mixture into six equal portions and shape them into small loaves.
Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.
Place the mini loaves into a lightly greased baking dish.
Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your preference.
Spread the glaze evenly over each mini meatloaf.
Use a brush for a more even application.
Bake the mini meatloaves in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meatloaf moist.
Serve the mini meatloaves with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
