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!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (4oz)
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped onion

1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard

Steps:

  • In a bowl, beat the egg and milk.
  • Stir in cheese, oats, onion, salt and rubbed sage.
  • Add beef and mix well.

  • Sauce: Combine catsup, brown sugar and mustard.
  • Spoon over each loaf so they are all covered in the sauce.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
  • For OAMC:.
  • To Freeze:Place the meat loaves in the casserole dish (without sauce).
  • Wrap with foil and freeze.
  • To Reheat: Defrost overnight.
  • Mix together the sauce and top each meat loaf with sauce.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in the center.
  • Cooked meat loaves (already topped with sauce) also freeze very well and then can be defrosted and heated in the microwave for a quick meal.
