Mini Meat Loaves

These meat loaves cook quickly and are great tasting! They also make excellent leftovers - not that you'll have any ;) Our family likes lots of sauce so I did tweak the recipe to make more sauce than the original - also just used all ground beef instead of original's 1/2 lb pork plus 1 lb. ground beef.

1 cup ketchup
4 Tbs packed brown sugar
1 ½ lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/4 tsp pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
1 egg

1. Heat oven to 450°F. In small bowl, stir ketchup and brown sugar until mixed. In large bowl, stir remaining ingredients and 1/4 cup ketchup mixture (reserving remaining ketchup mixture for topping) until well mixed.

2. Spray 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Place meat mixture in pan; pat into 12x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise down center and then crosswise into sixths to form 12 loaves. Separate loaves, using spatula, so no edges are touching. Brush loaves with reserved ketchup mixture.

3. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F.
