I loved, loved, loved this recipe. It was quick and easy to make. My kids cleaned their plates and my Husband fished them off. I was hoping for leftovers but there were none. It was great.

This was a great variation of meat loaf and the "mini" concept was even better. My son loved this dish---I'll definitely be making this again!! I even posted this on my Facebook page & 2 co-workers are waiting for my left-overs...(there are none).

not a meatloaf fan, but these are great!! use extra lean ground turkey so there's no grease. i cut pieces of foil to fit inside the muffin tin then spray that. no sticking. add green pepper. usually serve with mashed potatoes......!! have made many times, and passed on recipe to others.

these were not very good. even with lean beef, they came out way too greasy.

My husband is not crazy about meatloaf so I hardly ever make it. I came across this recipe and on a whim decided to try it. My entire family loved it! I'll definately be making this one again!

I have made this twice now, my family loves it, I have used mild salsa and a mixture of mild and medium. I did not have any crackers so I used instant oatmeal, they did not know the difference. It does take longer to bake then it says.

I thought these were a little bland.Next time I will add more cheese, some hot sauce & green chiles. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, and didn't have any problems with them being greasy. I will make these again.
