Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ground beef
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • ½ Green bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup Mild salsa
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup Bread crumbs plain

Seasoning

Glaze for the Mini Meatloafs

  • 1 ½ cup Ketchup
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, add ground beef, diced onion and bell pepper, salsa, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and bread crumbs. Next add all of the seasonings including the all purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and onion soup mix  into the bowl.
  • Using gloved hands, combine all ingredients by mixing with hands. Try not to overwork the meat mixture. Turn over-and-over until everything is thoroughly combined into the meat.
  • Form the meat mixture into 12 equal parts and use your hands to form them into balls. Place the meatballs into the pre-greased muffin tin. Press the meatballs down into each muffin cup so that they are flat, as they will shrink-up during cooking.
  • Lightly tint the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Cook for 45 minutes. 
  • While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare the glaze by thoroughly combining the ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a medium size bowl.
  • Remove the muffin tin from the oven and drain the grease by very carefully pouring it out (careful not to let the meatloaf fall out), or use a turkey baster to remove the excess grease. Pour out as much as possible.
  • Spoon and spread the glaze over the top of each mini meatloaf, ensuring to completely cover it. Place the muffin tray back in the oven, uncovered, and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
  • After removing the mini meatloaf from the oven, let it set for at least 10 minutes untouched. A lot of the grease will continue to seep out. Drain the grease again by gently pouring it out, or using a turkey baster. And enjoy!

Notes

Use tomato sauce in place of ketchup, double the amount of brown sugar if you want it on the sweeter side.
