  • Dice onion and add onion to beef mixture. Also add oats.
  • Add parsley, salt, and sage to ground beef. Mix ground beef, milk mixture, onion, oats, and spices all together with a fork.

  • Place pans into oven and set the timer for 50 minutes.
  • While meatloaf (s) are cooking, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard for the meatloaf glaze.
  • After 50 minutes, check the meatloafs. Pour out some, but not all of the extra juice in the pan.
  • Add the glaze and put the meatloaf back into the oven for another 10 minutes. The mini meatloaf will only need a few more minutes. Check for doneness with kitchen thermometer. It is done when temperature reaches 150 degrees.
