Stir in the salt, pepper, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste and allow the mixture to cool.

I am older and live alone. All my life I cooked in quantity with sons, grandsons and extended family. But now finding myself alone, not knowing how to cook for one. I tried this meatloaf, OMG it is wonderful. I followed the recipe exactly as it is. Held together perfectly, seasonings were spot on. I even baked it in my air fryer. I am going to freeze the second loaf for later.  Great job, perfect meatloaf.

2nd time making this recipe, and I will make it the same from here on our! By far my Favorite meatloaf recipe I have tried. I just use onion powder instead of the dried onion bc that's what I had on hand, as well as subed the egg for the mayo and I like it so much better than using egg! Also for the glaze I didn't have balsamic vinegar so I just used 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard instead. Still turned out perfectly.

So good in a pinch. Company appears and I manage to please everyone with a taste of this meat loaf.

I don’t like meatloaf but made it for the wife.  Didn’t have minced onion so I used “everything bagel” topping.
I really liked it.

Loved your meatloaf recipe... Meatloaf was so flavorful and the glaze was amazing. My husband said this is the best meatloaf you have ever made.
Love dinner for two recipes..

This is my go to recipe for a pound of lean ground beef. It’s delicious with mashed potatoes and any vegetable. My kids love it.

I never in my life liked meatloaf, then a coworker brought these mini ones for supper one day. They smelt delish and I had to try. I found this recipe and now I like meatloaf! Thank you

These are delicious, and super easy to make! I used 1 egg and used Ritz crackers for the bread crumbs. Also did ketchup instead of tomato sauce. Delicious!!!

Came out great,  I had to make mine in a loaf pan but the flavor is really good and didn't dry out either.

Made this with cheddar cheese stuffed in the middle. Also added a bit of mustard and onion powder to the meat. Turned out perfect!

This was delicious. I had bought a broccoli and carrot salad that wasn't what I thought it would be and no one was eating it. I was able to put it in the meatloaf and everyone gobbled it up. Definitely my go to Meatloaf recipe from now on. Great in mini tins or as a big loaf. Make a triple batch if you want to freeze any. They go fast.

I make these 2x a month at least! I add brown sugar, ketchup, hot honey &amp; red pepper flake glaze! They cook quickly and are delicious!

W-O-W! I never write reviews for recipes, but this is WOW! SOOO good &amp; moist! Followed recipe to a T! It’ll be my new meatloaf recipe! Thank you!

I love these! I’m starting to food prep more and was wondering if you have tried freezing these? If so would you suggest freezing before or after cooking them?

I just want to thank you so much for the oatmeal in the meatloaf idea. I'm new to homemaking and this muffin tin meatloaf was perfect. The texture is SO MUCH better with the oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. Thank you again!

Have been looking for a tasty version of these for a while.  Happy to have found this one.  Definitely being added to our collection of go to recipes. Only thing I did was added qtr cup of each: shredded carrots, finely chopped onions, and bell pepper.  Served with roasted broccoli and a salad.  So good, and so quick.  Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Add all ingredients—except 2 tablespoons of the ketchup for topping—to a large bowl.

Move the mixture to the baking pan and shape it into a 1 to 1½-inch thick loaf. Spread the remaining ketchup over the top.

Bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F—about 30–40 minutes for a 1-pound loaf or just over an hour for a 2-pound loaf.

Remove from the pan for serving and discard any drainage.

love your recipes, easy to change to two, simple ,plain, just like I like ,Thanks a lot.

Great Recipe.  I grew up making this and remember fondly my mother and grandmother making this.  Thank you for reminding me.  Your recipes have been really helpful because most of them make small amounts.  Very important if you are cooking for one.  I look forward to each new entry.

to make the meatloaf moist use a shredded zucchini peeled of course and squeeze out the water and shredded carrots , will also give you a great taste too and shredded onion or even  brown the diced onions in a skillet and add to the meatloaf , I use a brush to baste the meatloaf with ketchup but not too much as it burns a lillte on the top and I drain off all the fat juice too and let the Meatloaf to Rest for about 15 minutes before I slice it.  Delicious try it

This is really good!   Imixed everything together, placed it in the casserole dish and let it sit for a couple hours to let all the ingredients get to know one another before tossing it on my pellet grill set at 375 for an hour.
I would feel comfortable using a large loaf pan for this.  The particular pan I used caused a darker edge that I think would be eliminated with a smaller pan and let the meatloaf be a little thicker.
Don't forget to grease the pan.
YUM!!
