Mini meatloves are fun and easy to make.
Want the kids to pitch in and actually enjoy meatloaf?
Make it this way.
Take 1lb ground beef, (I use 1.5lbs because they are huge teenage boys)
1 package of Stove Top stuffing.
1 cup warm water.
In large mixing bowl, combine the beef, stuffing mix and water till well mixed.
The kids can do it, it's like playing in the mud, just make sure their hands are clean.
Get your muffin pans ready.
Yes, I said muffin pans.
Grease your pans (lightly) with Pam or whatever type you prefer.
After it's all mixed and your pans are ready, fill each muffin hole all the way up and over just slightly.
Take a teaspoon and make a small pocket or indent in the top of each one.
Add your toppings.
Toppings can be ketchup (mine), BBQ sauce, steak sauce, salsa etc. Whatever you and your family like.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. During the last 2-3 minutes of baking, you can add cheese to the tops if so desired.
Serve with your favorite sides and there ya go, a fun and family involved meal that suits everyones tastes.

Now that's a neat idea! I'll have to remember that one for the next time the grandkids come over. They would love individual meat loaves :)

Dude, my meatloaf so totally rocks that I don't NEED muffin pans or kids involved. ;-)
And let me tell you something else that very few people know: I can make liver-haters LOVE LIVER.
It's a gift, I tell ya.

I make these all the time!! My kids won't eat meatloaf the normal way (in a loaf pan) ever since I started making them in muffin tins. Ya gotta love Stove Top...I probably have 10 boxes of it in my house. LOL
