  • 1 cup canned lentils, drained and rinsed

  • 450 g lean ground beef

  • 1 cup bread crumbs

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

  • 4 tsp Worchestershire sauce

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

  • 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with oil.

  • Pat lentils dry with kitchen towel, then stir with beef and bread crumbs in a large bowl until combined. Stir in yolks, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, onion and garlic powders and salt until combined. Divide among muffin cups. Smooth tops.

  • For glaze, stir together ketchup, brown sugar and Dijon in a small bowl. Brush over meat loaves.
