LIL' CHEDDAR MEATLOAVES

We have given up all other meat loaf recipes for this one. I love the individual servings and every bite has the yummy catsup sauce where in "regular" meat loaf it's just a small strip on top! With the smaller loaves it also makes the cooking time a bit quicker. This recipe came from '99 TOH magazine but I added the rubbed sage for some extra flavor. Enjoy!

These were really cute and my family enjoyed having their own mini meatloaf. The recipe has a really good contrast of savory meatloaf and sweet glaze. And of course, the cheese added to these little loaves is a nice touch.
