Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until everything is well combined, but do not overmix to avoid tough meat loaves.

Step 3

Evenly divide the mixture among the 12 muffin tin cups, pressing gently to compact the mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients: 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spoon a small amount of the topping mixture onto each meat loaf and spread it evenly over the surface.

Step 5

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat loaves reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the meat loaves rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing them using a spoon or offset spatula.

Step 7

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, and enjoy!
