Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture into your palm and flatten slightly. Place some grated cheddar cheese in the center and fold the meat around it to form balls.
  4. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix ketchup and mustard; brush this glaze over each meatloaf bite.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until cooked through and caramelized on top. Garnish with extra parsley before serving.

Keywords: For added flavor, consider incorporating your favorite herbs or spices into the meat mixture. Chill formed bites for about 15 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape. Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
