Best Meatloaf Bites

I absolutely love meatloaf but there's just me here!
Plus, to me, the best part is the topping sauce...and if you slice the meatloaf in the traditional way, you only get a little topping...
These are freezable and the topping sauce holds together in the microwave!
Also these take only a short time to cook, rather than the 45+ minutes it takes to cook a traditional loaf...
Hope you like them!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Tear bread into small pieces, add milk and let sit while you continue...also preheat oven to 350 and grease the top of a broiler rack
- 2
Prepare the meat: in a big bowl, break up and spread the ground beef
- 3
Spread the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce (and if you're using the bouillon and onions, add those) over the meat --don't mix yet!
- 4
Break the egg in then add the wet bread pieces, any milk too
- 5
Using a chopping motion with your hand, combine everything --don't squish the meat through your fingers, it'll make the loaf tough
- 6
Now add the cheese and make sure it's all combined -the mixture should be pretty wet and almost loose
- 7
Using a 3 inch scoop, form the ball into a patty 3 inches long and 1 inch thick...place on greased broiler rack...you should get 8 pieces
- 8
Now for the topping...in a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, ketchup and mustard, stir well to remove lumps if any
- 9
Spread over the patties, covering the sides too
- 10
I like to put a little water in the bottom part of the broiler rack, it makes cleanup easier...or I suppose you could use foil...
- 11
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
- 12
Serve with salad, potatoes, pasta..whatever you like!
- 13
If you're going to freeze any leftovers, make sure the patties are room temperature before packing and freezing
- 14
Enjoy!

I often make this meatloaf when I’m pressed for time and I want to make something healthy and delicious for the week.Using 93% lean ground turkey has less saturated fat than other meat choices. But because it’s lean, adding moisture in the form of other ingredients is necessary to obtain a moist meatloaf. It’s a great opportunity to add vegetables (and even an apple!) to increase nutritional value.#Dinner #Healthy #ComfortFood Chris Gan -

My kids love when I make this and just can't get enough. I took my mom's recipe and jazzed it up a lot. I live in a humid environment so sometimes I need to add more or less breadcrumbs depending on the weather. I recommend using a serrated knife to cut it when finished, it helps to keep the bacon attached to the slices. Chin -
