I found these to be so simple and quick to put together and so yummy too! Even my 3 year old, who is a very picky eater, loved them! My fiance's only complaint was that he wished there was more sauce, so nex time I think I'll put some on the side so he can dip them in. Overall, really great. I'll definitely do these again!

These were good but I did have some problems with them. After 20 minutes mine were burnt on the outside but mushy in the inside and I had the temp at 375. Next time I will lower the temp. They were easy to make.

These were good and easy. Mine seemed a little dry, so I served them with additional warmed spaghetti sauce. Kids loved them!

These were super easy and very good. I had 1.5 lbs. of ground beef so I used it all, but I didn't change any other ingredient amounts. I used Italian Style Stove Top Stuffing so I did cut back on the Italian seasoning a little, though. My muffin tins must be bigger than average or I used too much meat in each, because even with the extra meat, I only got 9 meatloaves. The girls ate one each and the boys ate 2, so it worked out fine (we have one leftover). For taste I gave them 4 stars...for ease, 5 stars. My husband and son said they were amazing and definitely 5 stars! So 5 stars it is, for very good taste and being super simple. Thanks!! P.S. My daughters said they tasted like pizza burgers and would be good on rolls...might try that next time.
