Ingredients

Meatloaf Muffins

Glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute before allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, onion mixture, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup, then mix until just combined.
  • Divide the meat mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each generously and gently pressing the mixture into the cups.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf muffins bake, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Remove the muffin tin from the oven, spoon the glaze evenly over the tops, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the centers reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf muffins rest for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and serving warm.

Notes

  • Let the sautéed onions and garlic cool slightly before mixing them into the meat mixture to prevent the eggs from cooking. 
  • Cook until the centers reach 160°F, about 25–30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness check. 
  • Mix the ingredients just until combined. Overmixing the meat mixture can result in dense, tough meatloaf muffins.
