Ingredients
Meatloaves:
- 17-20 17-20 saltine crackers crushed fine (about 2/3 cup)
- ¼ ¼ cup whole milk
- ⅓ ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley
- 3 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1 large egg
- 1 ½ 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ 1 ½ pounds ground meat I use a combination of lean ground chuck, lean ground pork, or lean ground turkey
- 2 2 teaspoons oil I used canola oil
Glaze:
- ½ ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 4 teaspoons cider vinegar
Instructions
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Stir cracker crumbs, milk, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, egg, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add ground meat and combine until uniform. Shape mixture into oval loaves (I doubled the recipe and got 10 mini loaves, so when I make the recipe without doubling it, I plan to shape into at least 5 loaves – they were definitely big enough to be perfectly filling!).
- Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until the oil is rippling. Add meatloaves (without letting them touch sides) and brown well on one side, 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip loaves over and tidy up edges using a spatula (I didn’t need to do this – my meatloaves managed to hold their shape really well). Brown on this side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients together until smooth. Transfer mini meatloaves to a foil-lined baking pan and spoon the glaze over the top of each meatloaf. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (or do like I do and cut one of the little babies open and if it looks done – pull ‘em out of the oven!).
