Directions

1. Topping: Combine ketchup, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire and sugar in a small bowl.

2. Meat Loaf: Combine egg, bread crumbs, ketchup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix in ground beef with a fork (careful not to over-mix). Divide meat mixture in half.

3. Shape half of the meat mixture into a lightly oiled 5-inch (12 cm) ramekin, leaving small hole in middle like a doughnut.

4. Cover with waxed or parchment paper. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) power for 3 minutes.

5. Remove paper and spread one-third of Topping over meat loaf. Replace paper, covering loosely. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) power for 3 minutes or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of of meat loaf, avoiding the bottom, reads 160ºF (71ºF). Let rest for 5 minutes and repeat with the remaining meat mixture and cook the second meat loaf. Serve drizzled with remaining Topping.

Tip

These individual meat loaves are moist, delicious and cooked in just 6 minutes per loaf! However, if you want to make 4 servings, just double the ingredients and use one 9-inch (25 cm) round baking dish or pie plate. Create a larger ‘doughnut’ hole in the centre and increase the cooking time to 8 minutes.
