    Mini Meat Loaf is an easy meal that can be made ahead. This recipe can be doubled or even tripled to feed a crowd.

     Thankfully, I made my Mini Meat Loaf last week and froze some because this week has been extremely busy.

    I am taking college classes and this week has definitely challenged my time management skills. 

    I usually serve them with Herb Roasted Red Potatoes and a steamed veggie.

    Fast and delicious, two of my favorite things.

    I originally found this recipe on the Cooking Light website, and I have tweeked it a little bit to fit our taste.

    I also try not to buy ingredients that I will only use for one dish, and I haven’t found another use for horseradish (an ingredient in the original recipe) yet.

    Perhaps I will at some point and then I could put it in this dish, even though I don’t think it needs anything else.

    I am feeding four, so I double the recipe so that I will have enough for three dinners.

    The pictures in this recipe are for a single batch.

    It is a quick meal the first time, which is great.

    What is even greater is how fast I can make dinner the second and third times.

    Perfect for busy week nights.

    This would also be good if you make dinners on the weekends for the week ahead.
