Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the muffin pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray or lining it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and milk, then add ¼ cup of ketchup, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and the egg. Mix gently until combined.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full and gently pressing the mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the topping ingredients and spoon the mixture over each meatloaf muffin.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and the tops are bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
