Preheat oven to 450° F. Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and carrot until vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic for another 30-60 seconds. Remove from the heat. Stir in the salt, pepper, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste and allow the mixture to cool.

In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the cooled veggie mixture, ground beef, parsley, egg, and bread crumbs. Do not over mix. 

Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill each muffin tin hole to the top. Gently press to fit into muffin tin mold.

Top each mini meat loaf with a spoonful of ketchup and spread it around with the back of the spoon. (Freezing instructions for Method #1 begin here.)

Bake about 20-25 minutes. Cut open a muffin to test that the middle is cooked through (no more pink or registers 165°F internally). Sprinkle with a little chopped parsley at the end, as garnish. (Freezing instructions for Method #2 begin here.)

I am older and live alone. All my life I cooked in quantity with sons, grandsons and extended family. But now finding myself alone, not knowing how to cook for one. I tried this meatloaf, OMG it is wonderful. I followed the recipe exactly as it is. Held together perfectly, seasonings were spot on. I even baked it in my air fryer. I am going to freeze the second loaf for later.  Great job, perfect meatloaf.

2nd time making this recipe, and I will make it the same from here on our! By far my Favorite meatloaf recipe I have tried. I just use onion powder instead of the dried onion bc that's what I had on hand, as well as subed the egg for the mayo and I like it so much better than using egg! Also for the glaze I didn't have balsamic vinegar so I just used 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard instead. Still turned out perfectly.

So good in a pinch. Company appears and I manage to please everyone with a taste of this meat loaf.

I don’t like meatloaf but made it for the wife.  Didn’t have minced onion so I used “everything bagel” topping.
I really liked it.

Loved your meatloaf recipe... Meatloaf was so flavorful and the glaze was amazing. My husband said this is the best meatloaf you have ever made.
Love dinner for two recipes..

This is my go to recipe for a pound of lean ground beef. It’s delicious with mashed potatoes and any vegetable. My kids love it.

I never in my life liked meatloaf, then a coworker brought these mini ones for supper one day. They smelt delish and I had to try. I found this recipe and now I like meatloaf! Thank you

These are delicious, and super easy to make! I used 1 egg and used Ritz crackers for the bread crumbs. Also did ketchup instead of tomato sauce. Delicious!!!

Came out great,  I had to make mine in a loaf pan but the flavor is really good and didn't dry out either.

Made this with cheddar cheese stuffed in the middle. Also added a bit of mustard and onion powder to the meat. Turned out perfect!

This was delicious. I had bought a broccoli and carrot salad that wasn't what I thought it would be and no one was eating it. I was able to put it in the meatloaf and everyone gobbled it up. Definitely my go to Meatloaf recipe from now on. Great in mini tins or as a big loaf. Make a triple batch if you want to freeze any. They go fast.

I make these 2x a month at least! I add brown sugar, ketchup, hot honey &amp; red pepper flake glaze! They cook quickly and are delicious!

W-O-W! I never write reviews for recipes, but this is WOW! SOOO good &amp; moist! Followed recipe to a T! It’ll be my new meatloaf recipe! Thank you!

I love these! I’m starting to food prep more and was wondering if you have tried freezing these? If so would you suggest freezing before or after cooking them?

I just want to thank you so much for the oatmeal in the meatloaf idea. I'm new to homemaking and this muffin tin meatloaf was perfect. The texture is SO MUCH better with the oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. Thank you again!

Have been looking for a tasty version of these for a while.  Happy to have found this one.  Definitely being added to our collection of go to recipes. Only thing I did was added qtr cup of each: shredded carrots, finely chopped onions, and bell pepper.  Served with roasted broccoli and a salad.  So good, and so quick.  Thank you for sharing your recipe.
