# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly incorporate ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley until cohesive but not overworked.
03 -
Scoop a tablespoon of the beef mixture, flatten in your palm, place approximately 1 teaspoon of grated cheddar in the center, then enclose cheese entirely with the meat to form a compact ball. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
04 -
Mix ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. Evenly brush the glaze over each assembled meatloaf bite.
05 -
Place meatloaf bites in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the centers are cooked through and the exterior glaze is caramelized.
06 -
Remove from the oven and immediately finish with extra chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Overmixing the meat mixture can lead to a dense texture; mix just until combined for tender bites.
