Equipment

  • Medium sized mixing bowl
  • Muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (454 g) ground beef
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) onion grated
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup (237 ml) water
  • 1/3 cup (79 ml) no-sugar added ketchup

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375° F (190°C).
  • Lightly spray the wells of the cupcake tin with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Place the ground beef into a mixing bowl, grate the onion into it, and mix to incorporate. Then add the remaining ingredients, except the ketchup. Stir until just combined.
  • Lightly pack the meat mixture into the wells of a round silicone cupcake or muffin mold. It should make 12 meatballs.
  • Place the muffin mold in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Baste with ketchup after 15 minutes of cooking and again when they are done.
  • Remove the meatballs from the mold and top with ketchup. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Adding grated onion to the meat mixture is a great way to get onion flavor and add moisture to the recipe without big chunks of onion that some may find off putting.
  • For evenly sized meatballs, use an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to measure out the meat mixture.
  • If you prefer, you can wear food-safe disposable gloves while shaping the meatballs. This helps keep the mixture from sticking to your hands and makes cleanup easier.
  • Don't pack the meat mixture into the cupcake wells to tightly. It will make the meatloaves tough and dense.
  • The serving size is 2-3 meatballs.
