Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and brush 4 muffin tin holes with olive oil.

Bake 1
Divide beef mixture evenly into 4 greased holes, pressing gently to level. Bake at 190°C for 18–20 minutes until firm and internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).

Glaze
While meatloaves bake, whisk 40g ketchup, 8g brown sugar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 0.75 tbsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.25 tsp mustard into a glossy glaze. Brush generously over meatloaves and return to oven 5–8 minutes until glaze is sticky.
