Equipment

Muffin tin
Garlic press
Scoop set you'll only need a large scoop
Instant read thermometer

Ingredients

1½ pounds ground beef no leaner than 85/15
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
½ cup BBQ sauce plus additional for garnish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic pressed
1½ teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter or spritz with cooking spray.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix until evenly combined, but do not overmix (or your meatloaf will be tough and dry).
Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing gently to pack them in. Smooth the tops, and add 1 teaspoonful of BBQ sauce on top of each muffin for extra flavor and a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until an internal thermometer reads 160°F.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove using a spoon or spatula. Serve hot with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes and roasted carrots.

Notes

I like to serve these mini meatloaves with crockpot mashed potatoes and Parmesan roasted carrots.
