We have given up all other meat loaf recipes for this one. I love the individual servings and every bite has the yummy catsup sauce where in "regular" meat loaf it's just a small strip on top! With the smaller loaves it also makes the cooking time a bit quicker. This recipe came from '99 TOH magazine but I added the rubbed sage for some extra flavor. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use a blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good combination includes salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Cheddar is a classic, but you can also use mozzarella, Parmesan, or any other type of cheese you like.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Use your hands to shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. Make sure it's even in thickness so that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meatloaf.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is done baking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
