MEAT LOAF MINIATURES



Meat Loaf Miniatures image

My family and I can't get enough of these little meat loaf muffins topped with a sweet ketchup sauce. They are the perfect portion size. This recipe requires no chopping, so it's quick and easy to make a double batch and have extras for another day. I've given them to new moms, too. -Joyce Wegmann, Burlington, Iowa
