Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (made with fresh bread)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup or barbecue sauce (plus more to spread on top)
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 1 tablespoon coarse ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup parmesan or cheddar cheese (plus more to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray, and set aside.
-
In a large skillet over medium high heat, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly before mixing with other ingredients.
-
Combine onion mixture with remaining ingredients in a large bowl, stirring just until combined. Press meatloaf mixture into muffin tin cups, filling to the rim. To allow for even baking, pour a little water into any cups that are empty. (This recipe should fill 8 regular size muffin cups.)
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush tops with more ketchup or barbecue sauce, and sprinkle with a little cheese. Bake for 5 more minutes.
-
Let rest 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin. (Drain meatloaf on a paper towel lined plate if necessary.)
