30-Minute Mini Meat Loaves Slash the bake time of meat loaf when you make mini-loaves. Meat loaf is now doable for weeknights! Prep Time: 10 min Total Time: 30 min Makes: 6 servings (2 loaves each) 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef 1/2 lb ground pork 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup) 1 egg 1. Heat oven to 450°F. In small bowl, stir ketchup and brown sugar until mixed; reserve 1/4 cup for topping. In large bowl, stir remaining ingredients and remaining ketchup mixture until well mixed. 2. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Place meat mixture in pan; pat into 12x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise down center and then crosswise into sixths to form 12 loaves. Separate loaves, using spatula, so no edges are touching. Brush loaves with reserved 1/4 cup ketchup mixture. 3. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F. High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): No change. Substitution While the mixture of ground beef and pork gives these little loaves a unique flavor, you can also use 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef instead of the mixture. Serve With Serve these loaves alongside cooked baby-cut carrots and mashed potatoes. Apple or cherry crisp is a sweet way to end the meal.
