I got this recipe from my Aunt when I was a teen and have made these lip-smacking miniature loaves many times. My husband and three children count this main dish among their favorites. The recipe is also great for company since it's easily doubled or tripled.

This is one of our regular meals. It's great as a leftover in a sandwich the next day.

Our family really enjoyed this dish and we've made it several times since. The mini size was perfect for our kids.

This is a wonderful recipe and we have made it several times but as one meatloaf instead of the little ones. We alternate with the topping from this recipe and just putting a can of green chili's on top. Excellent!

Li'l Cheddar Meat LoavesSkip the sickeningly sweet topping. The mini loaf idea was very good but will use my own meatloaf recipe which has alot more flavor.

why not use breadcrumbs instead...make your own or get from your local grocery store. :) I prefer breadcrumbs over oats in my meatloaf personally.

I would imagine you could use the equivalent of soft, fresh bread pieces instead of the oats. Or perhaps use Panko bread crumbs.
