Amazing Gluten Free Barbecued Meatloaf Minis

The most challenging food for me since going gluten free has been meatloaf! All of the other meatloaf recipes I have tried have either been flavorless or a weird texture. This recipe is one I adapted myself, and I feel it earns five stars on both flavor and texture. My friends who eat gluten even love it and can't tell it's gluten free!
