Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

1 ½ lbs. ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped bell pepper
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ cup BBQ sauce
⅔ cup bread crumbs
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 large egg
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Glaze:

¼ cup BBQ sauce
¼ cup ketchup
1 tbsp honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, combine all the meatloaf ingredients. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Divide the mixture evenly among 10 muffin cups, pressing gently into each well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Spoon or brush the glaze over each mini meatloaf.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until cooked through and nicely browned on top (internal temp should be 160°F/71°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Pro Tips

Use lean ground beef to reduce grease in the muffin tin.
Want extra flavor? Add a small cube of cheese to the center of each muffin before baking.
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
