Ingredients

  • 1/2 Yellow Onion Diced
  • 4 tbsp Salted Butter
  • ¾ cup Ketchup Divided
  • 1 lb Ground Beef 85% or 90% lean
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1.5 tsp Ground Mustard Divided
  • ½ cup Panko
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Saute onion in butter in small saucepan until translucent.
  • Add ¼ cup of ketchup to the butter and onion. Let the ketchup get warm and remove pan from heat and let it cool.
  • While the ketchup cools, in a large mixing bowl combine 1 lb of ground beef, 1 egg, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp mustard powder, ½ cup seasoned panko together. Mix until combined. Add cooled ketchup mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. It's okay if ketchup is slightly warm, but you don't want it hot.
  • Divide mixture into four small individual loaves on the sheet pan and add to oven.
  • While the meatloaf cooks, mix together the glaze by mixing ½ cup ketchup, ½ brown sugar and 1½ tsp ground mustard.
  • After 20 minutes of baking, remove meatloaf and evenly divide glaze on the top of each meatloaf. Return meatloaf to oven and finish cooking until internal temperature is 165 degrees.
