Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by either greasing it or lining with muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated carrot, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, beaten egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Scoop the meat mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and brown sugar. Spoon a dollop of the sweet ketchup glaze on top of each meatloaf muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are cooked through and the tops are slightly caramelized.
Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
