Meatloaf For One

Submitted by Gingerbee

"When cooking for ourselves alone, we tend not to indulge in the comfort food of family-sized meals such as meatloaf. We're intimidated with thoughts of leftovers or of breaking down recipes for a single portion. This recipe will give you one dinner and perhaps a sandwich or enough to share with a friend."

I made this this morning and had a couple of slices for lunch. I used ground chicken, lovely moist yet firm loaf.Just right flavour Thanks for posting this handy recipe Gingerbee. — Mar 24, 2002, 2 ADDED COMMENTS: I made this again and used very fine minced white meat turkey, I beat if well so the texture was almost smooth - It came out just the way I wanted - just like a Bavarian Meatloaf again thanks - hope you like the pictures (Oh I doubled the recipe)

I made this for supper and it was perfect for just me. It's different from my usual meatloaf recipe but I really liked it. I'll make it again!

The Best Meatloaf ever!! I used ground beef, Panko crumbs, extra Dijon mustard and only one tbsp tomato paste as I didn’t have ketchup. I left it “naked” and oh, my goodness, the crust on the meatloaf is to die for. Two meals, I’m not sharing.

Was a little leery after reading one review wherein the reviewer didn't like the texture, but went ahead and made it anyway. Loved it! After I make it two or three more times I'll experiment a bit, pretty sure I'll add some onions. Btw, thought the texture was great.

Well I used panco crumbs instead of a slide of bread and bbq sauce in place of ketchup, we loved it...so easy to make and this makes two meatloaves for us so I get two dinners out of it...love it??
