Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a miniature marvel, a savory meatloaf that captures all the comforting flavors of a classic cheeseburger. These aren't your average, everyday meatloaves; they're perfectly portioned, handheld delights, each one a miniature tribute to that iconic American sandwich. These small meatloaves are incredibly moist and tender.

The savory ground meat, seasoned with a blend of spices, forms a hearty base that's both satisfying and flavorful. Embedded within each loaf is a delightful surprise: a medley of finely diced onions, adding a subtle sharpness that cuts through the richness of the meat. Nestled alongside the onions are crunchy pickle pieces, their tangy bite providing a burst of freshness that complements the savory notes beautifully.

As you bite further, you encounter the star of the show: melted cheese, oozing with creamy goodness. It binds all the elements together in a symphony of flavor and texture. The cheese creates a gooey, decadent center that elevates the meatloaf to new heights.

But the experience doesn't end there. Each mini meatloaf is crowned with a luscious, tangy "special sauce. " This sauce is a harmonious blend of creamy mayonnaise, zesty mustard, a touch of sweetness, and a hint of spice.

It's the perfect finishing touch, adding a layer of complexity that enhances the overall taste. The sauce glistens invitingly, promising a burst of flavor with every bite. These cheeseburger meatloaves are incredibly versatile.

They're perfect as a fun and flavorful appetizer, a satisfying snack, or even a complete meal when paired with your favorite sides. They're also a great way to introduce kids to the world of meatloaf, turning a classic dish into a playful and engaging experience. The combination of textures and flavors creates a truly satisfying culinary experience.

The tender meat, the crunchy pickles, the gooey cheese, and the tangy sauce all come together in perfect harmony.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with all seasonings and the parmesan cheese.
    2.
    Spray a 6-count muffin tin lightly with pan spray. Divide the ground beef into 6 portions and press each portion into the muffin tin to create a little cup. The edges of the ground beef should rise above the muffin tins (this will close the mini meatloafs later).
    3.
    Arrange about 1 tsp of diced onion per cup, followed by 1 slice of gherkin pickle. Add a ", slice of American cheese on top of each pickle slice.
    4.
    Use your fingers to close up each mini meatloaf and press the ground beef together. Mix together the mayo and ketchup and spread approx. 1 teaspoon of this mixture over the top of each mini meatloaf.
    5.
    Bake the mini meatloafs for 30 minutes. Allow the meatloafs to cool before using a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving plate.
