This is a fabulous recipe. I double the recipe each time I make them and give 6 to my elderly mother, she just loves them and the single serving size is perfect and easy for her to bake.

I did not freeze these. I made them and then baked them immediately for 30 minutes and they were amzing. I have passed this recipe around. I will definitely make this again.

Excellent! I had surprise guests for supper recently and it was so nice to be able to pop these right out of the freezer. They taste good and look special.

No words to describe how good this is!!! my 6yr old even ate it and she is a VERY picky eater! Husband loved them and he's not a big meatloaf fan; i get a request at least once a week to make these!

My family loved this recipe. I had to make two versions - a few patties with my normal recipe and a few with this recipe. Both were a success!

I wish I could taste more of the Stove Top, it was an okay recipe but probably wouldnt make it again.

These were pretty awesome, even my kids loved them. I left out the green onions because my kids don't like them.

This was an ok recipe. I used the low-sodium version of StoveTop Stuffing. In addition, I only used about 3/4 of the package instead of the whole package (which was what the recipe called for). I'm glad I did bc my husband thought it was too much stuffing and I didn't even use the full amount. I will make it again but will play around with the ingredients more to find the right blend for my family's tastes.

This is a fantastic recipe!! Even my husband who doesn't like meatloaf asks for seconds and wants to know when we're having it again. Have shared it with so many. Can't stop raving about this simple dish that literally stretches only 1 lb. ground beet into 7 mini meatloaves! Perfect for vacuum seal and freeze for easy, easy weeknight comfort food!

Yum! I didn't have BBQ sauce so I substituted ketchup, brown sugar, grape jelly [home made version of BBQ sauce] and a hint of mustard. It still turned out great!
