In a bowl, combine 2 pounds of ground beef, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1 egg.

Mix the ingredients well, ensuring they are combined but not overmixed.

Add about 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.

Shape the mixture into personal-sized meatloaves and place them in the skillet, ensuring they are not too close together.

Cook the meatloaves on medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes until browned on the bottom.

Carefully flip the meatloaves over and cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, checking periodically to avoid burning.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 can of tomato sauce with 2-3 tablespoons of ketchup to create a glaze.

Top the meatloaves with the glaze and sprinkle salt on top.

Let the meatloaves cook for an additional 8-10 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.

Check the doneness by cutting one open to ensure it is cooked through.
