Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and ground nutmeg to make the glaze; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and the beaten egg. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, pressing down to fill each cup.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and blot each cup with a paper towel to soak up excess grease.
  6. Spoon the glaze over each mini meatloaf and return to the oven. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for beef or 165°F for turkey.
  7. Let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Enhance the flavor with minced vegetables or spices like cayenne pepper. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
