Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the first step to ensure that your meatloaf bites are cooked to perfection, offering that tremendous warmth we all crave.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. The combination of these ingredients lays the foundation for your tremendous dish.
-
Add the egg, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to the mixture.
-
Season with salt and pepper, followed by garlic powder and onion powder. Mix until well combined, using your hands if necessary to ensure every component mingles beautifully.
-
Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a small meatloaf bite, roughly the size of a golf ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is formed. You’re creating tremendous little packages of joy!
-
Place the formed meatloaf bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This keeps them from sticking and helps with easy cleanup.
-
In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and smoked paprika for the topping. Brush this mixture over the meatloaf bites for a sweet and smoky finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. You will know they are done when the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
