By ally_2413

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 c. plain unseasoned bread crumbs
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 med onion, finely chopped
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp minced fresh thyme
• 3/4 freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, garlic, onion, salt, thyme and pepper. Divide the meat mixture among the 12 muffin cups, pressing meat firmly into the pan. Place muffin pan on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 min, until the meat is almost cooked thru. The loaves will be firm when pressed lightly but not set.
While the loaves are baking, whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. After baking, remove the pan from the oven, brush the tops of the loaves with the glaze, and return the pan to the oven. Bake for 10 min more or until glaze has thickened and the meat is completely cooked thru, 30-35 min total. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around the edges of the muffin cups and pop out the meat loaves. Serve hot.
