Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Mini Meatloaf Muffins:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures a perfect baking temperature.

2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin or line it with parchment liners to prevent sticking.

3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, grated carrot, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, and Italian seasoning.

4. Combine Thoroughly: Mix all ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

5. Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the mixture into the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Top each muffin with a small dollop of ketchup for added flavor.

6. Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and juices run clear.

7. Cool: Once done, remove the muffins from the oven. Allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes in the tin.

8. Serve: Carefully lift the muffins from the tin and place them on a cooling rack or serving platter.

By following these steps, you’ll have a batch of incredible Mini Meatloaf Muffins ready to delight your family and friends!
