"This is REAL good. What I do as a twist to the recipe is make it in a 12 cavity (?) non stick muffin tin. Punch a finger in each of the ""mini-meatloafs' for the sauce. Cook for 15 min at 350, put the sauce on top, 15 more minutes and DONE. Great for the late nite snacks, you can freeze them for later, etc., etc. Comfort food when you need it..."
