• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  
  

• 1/4 cup milk
  
  

• 1 large egg
  
  

• 1 small onion, finely chopped
  
  

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  
  

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  
  

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  
  

• 1/4 cup ketchup
  
  

• 1 tablespoon mustard
  
  

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil.
   
   

2. Prepare Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
   
   

3. Form Meatballs: Take a small portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese in the center and mold the meat around the cheese to form a ball.
   
   

4. Place in Muffin Tin: Place each meatball into the prepared muffin tin.
   
   

5. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar until smooth.
   
   

6. Apply Glaze: Brush the tops of each meatball with the prepared glaze.
   
   

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

8. Serve: Allow the meatloaf bites to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm
