Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 0.25 cup Onion
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, ensuring you don’t overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a mini loaf about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Step 3
Place the mini meat loaves in a microwave-safe dish, ensuring they are spaced apart to cook evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.
Step 5
Spread the glaze evenly over the tops of each mini meat loaf using a spoon or pastry brush.
Step 6
Cover the dish lightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small corner uncovered to allow steam to escape.
Step 7
Microwave on HIGH for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of each meat loaf reaches 160°F (70°C). Cook times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
Step 8
Let the meat loaves rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
