I'll share what my family just had for dinner last night.  It made a ton and everyone said they liked it.

What You Need:

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion
Serve with hot mashed potatoes and your favorite steamed green vegetable to round out the meal.

How to Make Four Meatloaves
Shape meat mixture into 4 (5x3-1/2-inch) loaves. Bake at 375ºF for 40 min. or until done (160ºF), topping with remaining sauce and cheese after 40 min. Cool any leftovers, then wrap tightly and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator, then reheat before serving.




My tips:

I pressed the meat mixture into muffin tins and cooked 24 mini meatloaves.  And I only used about 2/3 cup cheese.  I served it with rice and green beans.

  1. What a good idea to use muffin tins to make mini meatloaves! I'm going to have to remember that. :)
