Mini Cheesy Meatloaf
Flavors Used:
Meatloaf? Yes please. Mini meatloaves for all? Even better!
This Mini Cheesy meatloaf recipe is a delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, crafted into individual portions perfect for quick and easy dinners. Instead of a single large loaf, mini meatloaves are typically made using a muffin tin or shaped into smaller, individual servings on a baking sheet. This approach allows for faster cooking times and results in a higher surface area, so each mini meatloaf has more of that delicious crust on the outside. Perfectly portioned and freezer-friendly, these mini cheesy meatloaves are a hit with kids and make great leftovers for busy weeknights.
Serve em up with some Crispy Roasted Potatoes or some Smoked Mac and Cheese for the ultimate comfort food meal.
