Mini Honey-Mustard Meatloaves from Mini Chef Ramsay

MCR uses Panko breadcrumbs. He says you can find them in the Asian food section at the grocery.

1lb ground beef
1 large egg
1/2c Panko
1c sharp white cheddar, shredded (split)
1/2t salt
1t pepper

Mix together all ingredients with half the cheese. Form into 2″x4″ loaves and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Mix together 2T ketchup with 2T honey-mustard and brush on each loaf then top with remaining cheddar. Bake at 450°F for 15-20 min until cooked through.
