1/4 cup Parsley Dried herbs can replace fresh (1 tsp dried equals 1 tbsp fresh).

Method

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or turkey), breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper, mixing gently until just combined.
Shape small portions into mini meatloaves, approximately 2 inches by 1 inch in size. Place on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between each.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are browned and firm on the outside.
In the final 5 minutes of baking, spoon a bit of ketchup onto the top of each mini meatloaf and return to the oven until warm and bubbling.
Allow to rest for a couple of minutes before serving for easier portioning.
