Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated onion
  • ¼ cup grated carrot
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • ¼ cup ketchup
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a nonstick muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • Add the ingredients except the ketchup to a large bowl and mix well with clean hands or a spoon.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin pan, using about 1/4 cup in each cup. Press down gently.
  • Brush each with ketchup.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until an instant read meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F.
  • Let cool for 2 minutes in the muffin pan, then use a knife (if needed) to transfer to a plate. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftover Mini Meatloaves, once cooled, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly to warm through. 
  • Or you can freeze the cooked meatloaves in a freezer bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 6 months.
  • I prefer to make this recipe with lean ground beef. If desired, you can use lean ground turkey or chicken.
  • Try minced mushrooms in place of the carrots for a veggie with a color that blends in more uniformly.
  • Serve with Broccoli Rice, Cheesy Rice, Buttered Noodles, or another desired side.
  • Gluten-free: Use GF breadcrumbs.
  • Egg-free: Omit the egg and add a splash of milk.
