Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, soak 3/4 cup breadcrumbs in 1/4 cup milk for 5 minutes until moistened.

  3. Step 3: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and evenly divide the mixture into 12 muffin cups or form 12 mini meatloaf shapes on the pan.
  4. Step 4: Spread a thin layer of 2 tbsp extra ketchup on top of each meatloaf muffin.
  5. Step 5: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and the edges are slightly browned.
  6. Step 6: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving these kid-sized meatloaf muffins with their hidden vegetables.
