My husband asks for these all the time, but I typically only make them for holidays.

These Mini Meatloaf Muffins put a fun spin on traditional meatloaf. They bake quickly, are already portion-sized, and can easily be customized to your taste. The sweet, tangy glaze on top finishes them off perfectly.
