Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf Bites

 

Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf Bites:

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (additional for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Mix the meatloaf ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.

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 then mold the meat around the cheese to form a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat and cheese.

Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and mustard. Brush this mixture over the top of each meatloaf bite.

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.

Serve: Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving.
