MINI MEATLOAVES WITH BROCCOLI MASH
This is a great recipe for kids to help with. Have older kids help grate the zucchini and onion. Let younger kids get their (clean) hands dirty by mixing the beef mixture until well blended. They can even help mash the potatoes and broccoli together!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Coat 8 cups of a muffin pan with cooking spray. Combine the ground beef and pork, zucchini, onion, breadcrumbs, egg and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix with your hands until combined. Mix the ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl.
- Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing to eliminate any air pockets. Bake 12 minutes. Spread the ketchup mixture on the meatloaves and bake until the glaze sets and the meat is cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the vegetables and return to the pot. Add the cream cheese and mash well; season with salt. Serve the meatloaves with the broccoli mash and carrot sticks.
MEATLOAF WITH A RANCH TWIST
I wanted a different twist to my meatloaf, so I added a package of dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix. Instead of using ketchup for the sauce, I use V8 to add a different taste. Use the spicy if you want more of a kick to your sauce. My kids went back for seconds when normally I have to beg them to just eat meatloaf.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine the vegetable juice, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, sage, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Gradually sprinkle the bread crumbs into the meat while mixing so the crumbs are distributed evenly throughout; add the egg and milk and continue mixing. Shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer to a loaf pan. Pour about half the sauce over the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cut the meatloaf into 6 even slices. Pour the remaining sauce over the slices to serve.

Tips:
- Use a variety of meats. Ground beef, pork, and veal are all good choices for meatloaf. You can also use a combination of meats, such as ground beef and pork or ground turkey and chicken.
- Add moisture. Meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add moisture to it. You can do this by adding eggs, milk, or broth to the meat mixture.
- Use breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs help to bind the meatloaf together and make it more moist. You can use fresh or dried breadcrumbs.
- Season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. Meatloaf should be cooked at a low temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about an hour. This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Mini meatloaves are a fun and easy way to serve a classic dish. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your mini meatloaves are moist, flavorful, and delicious. So next time you're looking for a new way to serve meatloaf, give these mini meatloaves a try.
