This Cheesy Mini Meatloaf is a kid-friendly weeknight dinner that cooks so much faster than a larger meatloaf. Each mini meatloaf is juicy, packed with flavor, and has everything you love about a traditional meatloaf in muffin-sized form. The cheesy goodness in each bite, combined with the tender meat and ketchup-based sauce, makes these a year-round family favorite. Here, there are two cheesy mini meatloaves plated in the center of the image with mashed potatoes and broccoli, with an additional plate in the background as well as additional sauce for serving.
