Little Meat Loaves

Before I misplace this recipe again, I am posting here as well as typing up to add to our Tried & Approved Recipe Collection.  This is an easy meatloaf recipe with a sweet sauce that is spooned over each little loaf before popping it into the oven.  I always half the ketchup sauce as a whole batch is too much.  Everyone in the family likes these mini meatloaves.

Li’l Cheddar Meat Loaves

Yield: 8 servings.

1 egg

¾ cup milk

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup quick-cooking oats

½ cup chopped onion

1 tsp. salt

1 lb. lean ground beef

In a bowl, beat the egg and milk.  Stir in cheese, oats, onion and salt.  Add beef and mix well.  Shape into eight loaves; place in a greased 13” x 9” x 2” baking dish.

2/3 cup ketchup

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 ½ tsp. prepared mustard

Combine ketchup, brown sugar and prepared mustard (I half the recipe); spoon over loaves.

Bake, uncovered, at 350˚, for 45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160˚.
