beef (I

egg (lightly beaten)

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

onion powder

butter

non stick spray

Preheat the oven to 400°, prep a muffin tin by spraying with non-stick spray.

In a small bowl combine the panko crumbs and milk, stir and set aside.

In a small skillet over medium heat sauté the onions in the oil, about 5 minutes.Remove from the heat and stir in the garlic, tomato paste and Worcestershire. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

In a large bowl combine the panko mixture, egg, onion mixture, salt, black pepper and onion powder. Add the ground beef and with a fork or clean hands, mix just until it is combined.

Divide the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, scooping about 1/4 cup of meatloaf mixture into each cup. Press down lightly on each cup.Top each cup with 1 tbsp ketchup.

Bake at 400, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Place the muffin tin on a large rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills in the oven.You can check that they are cooked through with an instant read thermometer, they should register at least 165 degrees. If your meat was extra cold it may take 30-35 minutes to cook through.

Let the meatloaf cool for about 5 minutes.

Meatloaf

If your slider buns came as one piece, like the Kings Hawaiian Savory Butter Buns, just slice the top buns from the bottom buns in one layer, keeping the 12 buns attached.

Place the bottom buns on a large rimmed baking sheet. Top each one with a meatloaf muffin. Add more ketchup or BBQ sauce if desired.  Evenly distribute the cheese slices across the meatloaf.

Place the top buns on, brush the tops of the buns with melted butter.

Place in the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese starts to melt.

Assembly

Slice the sliders apart with a serrated knife.

Serve 1-2 sliders per kid, and 2-3 sliders per adult.

They make a great addition to an appetizer party (perfect football game food)!! For dinner serve with chips or fries and raw veggies with dip.
