Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl. Let this mixture sit for five minutes.
  3. Add ground beef, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  5. Prepare the glaze by whisking together brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Spoon about one tablespoon of glaze over each meatloaf cupcake.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with remaining glaze. Return to oven for another 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  8. Let the cupcakes rest in the pan for five minutes before removing.

Notes

Ensure to use 85/15 ground beef for moisture. Dice onions finely for even texture. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness at 160°F.
