Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Mini Meatloaves.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spritz of cooking spray to ensure your mini meatloaves don’t stick.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, rolled oats, shredded Cheddar cheese, milk, egg, and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 4
Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together until it’s well blended and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to shape your mixture! Divide it into eight equal portions and gently mold each portion into a mini loaf shape.
Step 6
Place these delightful little loaves in your prepared baking dish, making sure they have a bit of space between them.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and dry mustard until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 8
This sweet and tangy glaze will add a delicious finish to your meatloaves, so spread it evenly over the tops of each one.
Step 9
Now, pop the baking dish into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 40 minutes.
Step 10
You’ll know they’re ready when they’re cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 11
For an extra layer of assurance, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 160°F (70°C).
Step 12
Once they’re done, take a moment to enjoy the mouthwatering aroma filling your kitchen.
Step 13
Serve these mini meatloaves warm, and watch as everyone digs in with smiles on their faces!.
