I absolutely love meatloaf and these little mini meatloafs are so nice because they take only 25-30 minutes to bake not a whole hour like traditional meatloaf and they have so much flavor! These little babies are not your mama's meatloaf that is for sure.
These are also great for leftovers for lunch or even a high protein snack on the go! THe fresh herbs really make a difference in this recipe so try not to skip this step!
* NOTE: I always take meat out of the fridge before working with it for about 20-30 min if possible to take the chill off of it.
