Mini Meatloaves
I much prefer these little mini meatloaves, as opposed to one large loaf baked in the oven.
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Combine ketchup and mustard, stirring well with a whisk. Reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup mixture.
  3. Combine remaining ketchup mixture, beef, and next 6 ingredients (beef through egg) in a large bowl, stirring to combine.
  4. Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions (or 5 total). Shape each portion into a 4 x 21/2-inch loaf; place loaves on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. (See notes; I line with foil and then spray).
  5. Spread about 2 teaspoons reserved ketchup mixture evenly over each loaf.
  6. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until done.
Recipe Notes

Stacy’s Notes:

  • I’ve been making these for about 18 years.  Tim loves meatloaf, but I do not, but we both enjoy these.  And they work for his meatloaf sandwiches for lunches too 🙂
  • I have used ground chuck, ground beef and ground sirloin (but have never tried with ground turkey or chicken). I don’t deviate from this recipe, and it’s always worked.  We prefer to have these mini meatloaves with some kind of potato and veggie, and sometimes a salad.  A nice comforting meal 🙂
  • For easy cleanup, I just line a cookie sheet with foil and spray well with cooking spray.  These don’t produce too much grease, but if you don’t line the pan, you’ll have a nice mess on your hands when it comes time to do dishes, LOL!
  • Tip:  If you don’t have packaged bread crumbs in the house, no worries, just make your own! Take some white or whole wheat sandwich bread, pulse in a food processor or blender and season. Since this is a beef dish, I prefer to use salt and pepper, and a good amount of a steak seasoning (mine is salt free).
