Mini Meatloaf Muffins are an easy 30-minute dinner made in a muffin pan. They cook faster than traditional meatloaf, stay juicy, and are perfect for busy weeknights when you need a simple meal everyone will eat.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin pan or line it with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. 1 pound ground beef,1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs,1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese,1/3 cup milk,1/4 cup ketchup,1/4 cup finely chopped onion,1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper,1 teaspoon garlic powder,1 teaspoon Italian seasoning,1/2 teaspoon salt,1/4 teaspoon teaspoon black pepper,1 large egg.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing gently to pack the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce for the topping. 1/3 cup ketchup,2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar,1 teaspoon mustard,1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
Spoon a small amount of the topping mixture onto each meatloaf muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf muffins are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Pro Tip: Mix ingredients just until combined, over mixing will make your meatloaf muffins tough!
