Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 12-cup cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, diced onion, Italian breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, milk, egg, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning.
Gently mix the ingredients with clean hands until well incorporated. Fill each muffin cup with the meat mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
While the meatloaf muffins are baking, prepare the sauce by whisking together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
After 20 minutes, remove the muffins from the oven. Spoon the sauce over each meatloaf and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan and serving.
