Mini Meatloafs in a Pan: A Delicious, Quick Meal

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, and grated cheese.

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Mix and Shape:
Use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Once well-mixed, divide the meat mixture into small portions and shape them into mini meatloafs. You can form them into oval or round shapes, depending on your preference.

4. Bake the Meatloafs:
Place the mini meatloafs in the prepared baking pan, leaving a little space between each one.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). The meatloafs should be golden brown on the outside.

5. Serve:
Once cooked, remove the mini meatloafs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
