Mini Meat Loaves

Cooking meat loaf in single-serving portions cuts cooking time in half and keeps the meat juicy. The tangy ketchup and mustard glaze helps these loaves brown nicely, too.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 loaf)

Ingredients

• 1/2  cup  ketchup
• 1 1/2  tablespoons  Dijon mustard
• 1  pound  ground sirloin
• 3/4  cup  finely chopped onion
• 1/4  cup  seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/2  teaspoon  dried oregano
• 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
• 1  large egg, lightly beaten
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine ketchup and mustard, stirring well with a whisk. Reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup mixture. Combine remaining ketchup mixture, beef, and next 6 ingredients (beef through egg) in a large bowl, stirring to combine.

Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 4 x 2 1/2-inch loaf; place loaves on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray.

Spread about 2 teaspoons reserved ketchup mixture evenly over each loaf. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until done.
