  1. Just a thought for others out there...try this with a cupcake pan. If you let the kitchen aid do the mixing, there's no reason to touch the meat (which is what I hate most about meatloaf). "Cupcakes with red icing" are always easier to feed to kids ;)

  2. This was a two out of four meal for us. Two liked it, two didn't. I broiled it at the end. I liked it like that.

  3. This was a 5 star meatloaf meal. My kids loved it and fought over for more. It was enough, but I would have loved to have left overs of this meal. Delicious. The red stuff on top was very sweet, but delicious! Please make again.

  4. Here's a newbie question! Do I freeze the meatloaves uncooked?! I'm guessing yes!
