1 TBSP. Butter
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup dried plain bread crumbs (I actually used the roasted garlic flavor)
salt & pepper, to taste
3 TBSP. Brown Sugar
3 TBSP. Mustard
1/2 cup. Ketchup
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions & cook stirring occasionally, until onions have softened. Remove from heat & let cool slighty.
3) In a large bowl, combine the onions, beef, egg, milk & bread crumbs. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.
4) Brush a 12 cup muffin tin with vegetable oil or Xtra Virgin Olive Oil. Divide beef between the muffin tin. Lightly pat into each well.
5) In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard & ketchup. Set aside.
6) Bake meatloaf muffins 10 minutes. Remove meatloaf muffins from oven & top with ketchup mixture. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink & a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
7) Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

You may wanna play around with this recipe and add additional spices. Change it up a bit according to your tastes and that of your family...My kids (especially my 4 yr old daughter) absolutely loved this recipe and ate everything up. You may also be able to get a second batch (or at least half ). I actually got 18 Mini Meatloaf Muffins made (all depends on how big you make them). This is definitely a great idea to make ahead a freeze. Perfect individual meatloafs
