Very nice family meal! I added mushrooms to the meatloaf and used homemade tomato sauce instead of ketchup with the meat. The sauce was made as directed and was simply yummy! I was able to get five single servings out of these by using shaped mini pans (stars, hearts, etc.). The kids loved them. Thanks for posting!

We loved these! As I try to improve our eating habits, I subbed half the ground beef with ground turkey breast which gave it a slightly different flavor, but still wonderful. I served the savory sauce in a small dish for each of us to ladle our own. Oh yes, these will be enjoyed again and again! Thanks for sharing!

Very quick and easy to make and cook. The sauce really makes these little loaves. The leftover sauce I used cold to have with some cold corned silverside (corned beef) and it made an excellent accompaniment. I would make the sauce on its own just to have with cold meats..LOL :) A 'keeper' for us :)
