Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef or ground turkey or ground chicken
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs regular will work
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon mustard or dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large lightly beaten egg

Sauce

1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons dijon mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon ketchup, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and egg.
Divide the meat mixture among the 12 cups in a standard muffin pan, pressing them down to fill the cup. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
Take the meatloaves out of the oven and use a paper towel to blot away any excess grease from the top of each one.
Spoon the sauce generously over each mini meatloaf, then return them to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 160°F.

Notes

Try replacing ketchup with barbecue sauce or marinara.
For more Italian flavoring add 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning.
Meat loaves freeze well. See full post for storing recommendations.
