Glazed Mini Meat Loaf

So I've been in Alabama visiting some family and just got back home. The last thing I want to do is spend time cooking so of course I went straight to this go to meatloaf recipe. I actually found this online and made a few adjustments cause I was missing some of the ingredients, however, I'll try to find the link for you guys. I'm not sure where I got it.

This is before I put them in the oven so the glaze hasn't been put on yet.

These are mini meat loaves, if you want you can make one large one. This makes about 4-5 meat loaves.

Glazed Mini Meatloaves 

17 crushed saltine crackers, crushed fine (I prefer to just crush them in the palm of my hand so there are slightly larger chunks for an extra crunch)

¼ cup whole milk

1/3 cup dried parsley (you can use fresh)

1 ¼ tablespoon soy sauce

1 large egg

1 tablespoon dijon mustard (didn’t have Dijon mustard so used a tablespoon of honey mustard dressing)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon of finely chopped onions

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 ½ pounds ground beef

Glaze:

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup packed light brown sugar

2-4 teaspoon cider vinegar (didn’t have cider so used white vinegar)

¼ teaspoon bbq seasoning

A little bit of honey to taste.

Directions:

1. Stir cracker crumbs, milk, parsley, soy sauce, egg, mustard, onions, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add ground meat and combine until uniform. Shape mixture into oval loaves

2. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until the oil is rippling. Add meatloaves (without letting them touch sides) and brown well on one side, 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip loaves over and tidy up edges using a spatula if necessary. Brown on this side for another 2-3 minutes.     

3. Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients together until smooth. Transfer mini meatloaves to a foil-lined baking pan and spoon the glaze over the top of each meatloaf. Bake for 18-20 minutes in 350 degree oven. Set aside some of the left over glaze and reapply on top of the meat loaf when ready to serve or on the side.
