30 Minute Meatloaves

We are a meatloaf loving family. I usually reserve it for weekends when I have a little more time to make it; but occasionally we need a meatloaf fix mid-week. Here is a nice quick way to make some cute mini-loaves. First, gather your ingredients:

• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 cup baking mix, like Bisquick or Jiffy
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg

Then, start cookin':

-Heat oven to 450 degrees. Stir ketchup and brown sugar together in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping. In a large bowl, stir remaining ketchup mixture with the rest of the ingredients until well mixed.

-Spray a 13x9 inch pan. Place meat mixture in pan, patting into a 12x4 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 sections and separate so no edges are touching. Brush reserved ketchup mixture on each loaf (I admit, I sometimes make more of the ketchup mixture. We're also ketchup lovers.).

-Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center and meat thermometer reads 160 degrees when inserted into center of loaves.

Delish!
