Mini Meatloaves

This is a great little recipe for a number of reasons. It is quicker to cook than 1 big loaf. My daughter is allergic to eggs, which are in nearly every meatloaf recipe, so this allows me to make the same recipe that suits the whole family. It is really moist and tasty with the little bit of sauce added to it. You have 3 recipes for the price of one, so with the different add-ins and sauces it allows you to change it up. It is economical and goes a long way. Try it and let me know how you get on.
