Steps:
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees F. Place all the veggies and garlic in the food processor and pulse until it's the consistency of apple sauce.
- Place the veggie pulp in the bowl with the bread crumbs, herbs and spices, ground meats, egg, milk and Worcestershire.
- Toss together, then mix thoroughly by hand, but don't squeeze the mixture too much!
- Separate the mixture into 8 equal portions-I like to do this by cutting the mixture in the bowl. This ensures consistency in size. Shape each portion into a loaf, and place them on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix all the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl.
- Brush the loaves with glaze, leaving extra on the top. Place in the oven and bake until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F-approximately 30 minutes.
- Tint with foil and let rest 5 minutes out of the oven before serving. *For one large classic meatloaf, shape all the mixture into a loaf measuring 10x5x4 inches. Bake approximately 1 1/2 hours to 160 degrees F.

Tips:
- Prep Your Meatloaf Pan: Before assembling your mini meatloaves, lightly grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper. This will prevent the meatloaves from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Use a Variety of Meats: Feel free to experiment with different types of ground meat in your mini meatloaves. A combination of beef, pork, and veal works well, or you can use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A flavorful meatloaf starts with a well-seasoned base. Use a combination of fresh herbs, spices, and Worcestershire sauce to create a delicious and aromatic meat mixture.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the meatloaf mixture can result in a tough, dense texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Shape and Bake: Form the meatloaf mixture into mini loaves and place them in the prepared baking dish. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Make a Simple Glaze: While the mini meatloaves are baking, whisk together a simple glaze made from ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush the glaze over the meatloaves during the last few minutes of baking for a glossy and flavorful finish.
- Let Rest: Before slicing and serving, let the mini meatloaves rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and result in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf.
Conclusion:
These marvelous mini meatloaves are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a party appetizer. With their simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, they're sure to become a family favorite. So grab your apron and start cooking up a batch of these delightful mini meatloaves today!
