👨🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the meatloaf base
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley.
Mix until evenly combined.
Form the bites
Take a golf ball-sized portion of meat mixture and flatten slightly.
Place a teaspoon of cheddar cheese in the center and mold the meat around it to form a ball.
Repeat with remaining mixture and place on baking sheet.
Glaze
Mix ketchup and mustard in a small bowl.
Brush generously over each meatloaf bite.
Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes until cooked through and caramelized on top.
Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Serve
Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.
Great with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or toothpicks for party platters.
🌟 Tips:
Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Make ahead and freeze before baking for easy prep.
Add a dash of BBQ sauce to the glaze for smoky flavor.
