Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 each large egg
  • 0.25 cup milk use any milk — dairy or non-dairy

  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin pan or spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the six muffin cups, pressing gently to fill each cup and shape into muffin-sized loaves.
  • Spoon a little ketchup (about 1 teaspoon) on top of each meatloaf muffin to glaze.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the tops are set.
  • Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days and reheat well.

Notes

To make ahead, assemble muffins and refrigerate covered for up to 24 hours before baking. Swap ground beef for ground turkey for a leaner version; increase bake time by a few minutes and check temperature.
