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. —Kathy Bowron, Cocolalla, Idaho

I'm not a great cook-tell me about freezing either cooked or uncooked.

I love this recipe so much that I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to my family's traditional meatloaf recipe!

I always disliked meatloaf but my husband loved it. My mother made this for him and I loved it. Make it all the time. Great for company.

Everyone loved this - I put them in a muffin tin for individualized portions. Easy to freeze.

I didn't have enough ketchup to make the sauce so I used half ketchup and have cocktail sauce. Made it really zippy! I have made it exactly as is and it's GREAT, but the cocktail sauce flavor is really tasty too!

Three out of four kids liking this recipe is a success in my book! I used minced onion because it is what I had on hand. Very easy and quick to make.

Always keep a stock in my freezer. Quick to make. Add cilantro and try different cheeses. It is unbelievable! Thanks!
