Meat Loaf Miniatures

Meat Loaf Miniatures
I do not usually like meat loaf, but my family and I can't get enough of this little muffins topped with a sweet ketchup sauce. They are the perfect portion size. This recipe requires no chopping, so it's quick and easy to make a double batch and have extras for another day. They're great to give to new moms, too. —Joyce Wegmann
