Combine ketchup and mustard, stirring well with a whisk. Reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup mixture.
Combine remaining ketchup mixture, beef, and next 6 ingredients (beef through egg) in a large bowl, stirring to combine.
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).
Spread about 2 teaspoons reserved ketchup mixture evenly over each loaf.
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).
