Mini meatloaves made in a muffin tin for quick, portioned meals, featuring a sticky-sweet glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together light brown sugar, ketchup, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and nutmeg to make the glaze.
  3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and egg; mix gently.
  4. Divide the meat mixture into the 12 muffin cups and compact it down.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, remove and blot excess grease.
  6. Top each loaf with the glaze and return to oven; bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ground turkey is leaner; add a teaspoon of olive oil or 1–2 tablespoons of milk if the mixture feels dry. For a different glaze flavor, you can swap Dijon mustard for yellow mustard.
