These mini glazed meatloaves are a delightful twist on the classic comfort food, perfect for individual servings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, onion, oats, ketchup, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make it tough.
Add the ground beef to the mixture and mix until just combined.
Use your hands for a more even mix, but don't overmix.
Shape the mixture into eight equal mini meatloaves and place them in a lightly greased baking dish.
Make sure the meatloaves are of similar size for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard for the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the glaze to your preference.
Spread the glaze evenly over each meatloaf.
Use a spoon or brush for an even coating.
Bake the meatloaves in the preheated oven for 1 hour, uncovered.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Serve the meatloaves warm with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
