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 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.

I made these today for the first time....but it won't be the last for sure. When my husband tasted these, he exclaimed.."this recipe is a keeper"! We loved the sweet and tangy sauce. Thanks for sharing this recipe with the world.

I've made this recipe several times....always great. I use 1/2 the sugar to suit our tastes and have also used ground turkey. Just as yummy.
