Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1 small finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Step 3: Form the Bites
Shape the Meatloaf Bites: Take a small portion of the meat mixture, flatten it in your hand, place a small amount of grated cheddar cheese in the center, and mold the meat around the cheese to form a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat and cheese.
Step 4: Prepare the Glaze
Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup ketchup and 1 tablespoon mustard. Brush this mixture over the top of each meatloaf bite.
Step 5: Bake
Bake the Meatloaf Bites: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf bites are cooked through and the tops are caramelized.
Step 6: Serve
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these cheesy, flavorful bites!
