From Our Recipe Box to Yours...

     I don't know about you, but I like meatloaf. Always have. My family on the other hand are not big fans. I couldn't figure out why. They like hamburgers. They like another recipe that I make that is so similar to meatloaf I can't figure it out. Until recently. I have always put ketchup on the top and baked it that way. I realize that my daughter does not like ketchup. So, now I want to try Mini Meatloaves and make them several different ways: with ketchup, plain, with BBQ...the sky's the limit! I looked up a couple of recipes and this is what I found...

Expert Tips

While the mixture of ground beef and pork gives these little loaves a unique flavor, you can also use 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef instead of the mixture.

Serve these loaves alongside cooked baby-cut carrots and mashed potatoes. Apple or cherry crisp is a sweet way to end the meal.
