1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 small zucchini, finely grated (about ¾ cup grated)
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 egg
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons ketchup divided
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Place meat in a large bowl. Add zucchini, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the ketchup. Use your hands to gently combine.
3. You don’t want to over-mix because the meat will become dry and tough.
4. Press the ingredients into the prepared muffin cups. Top each mini meatloaf with a dollop of the remaining ketchup.
5. Place the muffin pan on a foil-lined baking sheet (to catch any drips).
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until meatloaves are cooked through and a thermometer registers 160 degrees F.
