Baking soda is a common pantry item and works similarly.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with foil.

Place ground beef in a large bowl.

In a medium pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until veggies have softened and all the liquid has evaporated, about 10-12 minutes.

Add cooked mushrooms and onions to the beef. Add egg, dijon, bbq sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Using your hands or a large fork, mix beef mixture until all ingredients are well-distributed and cohesive. Try not to overmix.

Divide mixture into 8 even sections. Working with your hands, shape each section into a round patty.

Place each meatloaf mini on your prepared sheet pan, spaced far enough apart not to touch.

If using bacon, wrap 1 slice bacon around each meatloaf, overlapping the ends slightly. Secure with a toothpick, if desired.

Bake meatloaf at 400 degrees 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. To serve, drizzle with barbecue sauce.
