Glazed Mini Meatloaves

Yield: 4 to 6 mini meatloafs
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Meatloaves:

  • ⅔ cup finely crushed saltine crackers, about 17-20 crackers
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef or a combination of ground beef and ground pork
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons oil

Glaze:

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, parsley, milk, Worcestershire sauce, egg, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine well.
  • Add the ground meat and mix until evenly combined.
  • Shape the meat mixture into 4 to 6 oval-shaped loaves.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until the oil is rippling. Add the mini meatloaves in a single layer with space in between (may need to cook in batches) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden. They'll cook more in the next step.
  • Transfer the meatloaves to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Mix the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
  • Spoon the glaze over the top of each meatloaf. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted at the thickest part registers 160 degrees F. Serve warm.
