Ingredients: Serves 2-4

For the Meatloaf Bites:

• 1 lb ground beef (85/15 for the best balance of flavor and juiciness)
• ½ lb ground pork (optional but adds great texture)
• ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ cup shredded cheddar (optional for extra cheesy bites)

For the Glaze:

• ¼ cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine all the meatloaf bite ingredients. Mix just until combined—overmixing can make them dense.
3. Roll & Place: Scoop small sized portions and roll them into small balls (or use a cookie scoop for even sizing). Place them evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
4. Glaze for Flavor: In a small bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients. Brush a light layer over each meatloaf bite.
5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the bites are cooked through (internal temp should be 160°F). For an extra crispy finish, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm with extra glaze or your favorite dipping sauce!
