Mini Meatloaves

Submitted by Michele Z

"I found this recipe after searching google for yet ANOTHER version of meatloaf (one of those things that just NEEDS constant tweaking), and tweaked to my own liking. My family is VERY picky and we found these mini's tasty, and filling, I personally like this recipie as its easily doubled to make and freeze future mini's. I used disposable mini loaf pans and that was a HUGE time saver once clean up came along. The jam helped keep the meat nice & moist WITHOUT being overly sweet."
