Recipe by Paula Bowman
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Mix 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
In the small bowl of a food processor, add garlic and pulse until chopped. Add onion, carrot and celery to bowl with garlic and pulse again until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add bread and parsley to food processor and pulse until finely chopped into breadcrumbs. Transfer to bowl with onion mixture, add remaining ¼ cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and next 4 ingredients. Mix well until blended. Add ground beef and gently mix until combined.
Divide mixture into 6 portions (1 cup each) and shape into mini loaf pans or muffin cups. Spread loaf-tops with reserved ketchup mixture. Bake in oven until cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 20 to 25 minutes.
