Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef:

  • 1 pound

Breadcrumbs:

  • 1/2 cup

Milk:

  • 1/4 cup

Egg:

  • 1 large

Onion, finely chopped:

  • 1 small

Garlic, minced:

  • 2 cloves

Salt:

  • 1 teaspoon

Black Pepper:

  • 1/2 teaspoon

Worcestershire sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon

Ketchup:

  • 1/2 cup

Mustard:

  • 1 tablespoon

Grated Cheddar Cheese:

  • 1/2 cup

Fresh Parsley, chopped:

  • 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix meatloaf ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the bites: Take a small portion of the meat mixture, flatten it in your hand, place a small amount of cheddar cheese in the center, and mold the meat around the cheese to form a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat and cheese.
  4. Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and mustard. Brush this mixture over the top of each meatloaf bite.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf bites are cooked through and the tops are caramelized.
  6. Serve and garnish: Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving.
