Mini Meatloaf

 I only used ground beef for this recipe. Some may like to use ground pork, veal, turkey, or mix them all up together for a combination of flavours. I was really surprised at how good it was. Flavourful and juicy, all the while satisfying any meat craving you may have. One change I would make is to sauté the onions beforehand so they are fully cooked & soften before added to the meat. 

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Yields: 6 mini-loaves



Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs 
  • 1/3 cup milk 
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 
  • 1 large egg 
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 small onion- finely minced 
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder 
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced 
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
  • 1 cup ketchup 
  • 4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 

Directions
  1. Combine in a large bowl: breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, chilli powder, and garlic. 
  2. Add the meat, season with salt and pepper, and mix with your hands until fully combined. 
  3. Shape into six 3-to-4-inch oval loaves. 
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. 
  5. Add the loaves and brown about 3 minutes per side. 
  6. Meanwhile, whisk the ketchup, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and brush a few tablespoonfuls over the meat. 
  7. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, cover and simmer over low heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes. 
  8. Transfer the loaves to a plate. 
  9. Add the remaining ketchup mixture to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. 
  10. Serve the meatloaves with the hot glaze.
