  • Shred the cheddar cheese yourself for a better melt and flavor distribution.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture, as this can result in a tough texture.
  • Form the meatloaf mixture into 12 even-sized balls. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Place the meatloaves on a greased baking sheet or in a muffin tin. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the meatloaves for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a meatloaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the meatloaf is done.
  • Serve the meatloaves hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn.
