This delicious and easy mini meatloaf recipe features all the classic flavors of meatloaf, like onions, garlic, and Italian seasonings, baked up tender and moist with a simple three-ingredient glaze. These are so much fun and quicker to bake than your standard meatloaf, and the size can be customized to suit your needs. You will love everything about these tender little meatloaves, from the ease and speed with which they bake to the savory taste with a simple glaze. They are a regular menu item here at the Pierce household, and they come in handy when my daughter and new son-in-law stop over.
