Meatloaf is a classic comfort food, but it can often be a bit time-consuming and difficult to make. These mini meatloaves are a fun and easy twist on the classic dish, combining the savory flavors of Italian seasoning and tomato sauce with the convenience of a muffin tin. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for meal prep, as they can be easily customized to fit your personal tastes.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, Stove Top stuffing mix, water, and Italian seasoning.
3.	Divide the meat mixture evenly into 12 portions, shaping each into a mini loaf.
4.	Place the mini loaves into a muffin tin and top each with about 1 tablespoon of spaghetti sauce.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 165°F.
6.	Remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each meatloaf.
7.	Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

PROS

These mini meatloaves are a fun and easy way to enjoy classic Italian flavors.

They are perfectly portioned and can be easily customized to fit your personal tastes.

They are also a great make-ahead option, as they can be frozen and reheated for a quick and easy meal.

CONS

While these mini meatloaves are a healthier alternative to traditional meatloaf, they can still be high in fat and sodium depending on the type of ground beef and spaghetti sauce used.

They may also not be as flavorful or moist as traditional meatloaf due to the use of Stove Top stuffing mix.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

These mini meatloaves are a good source of protein and can be made even healthier by using lean ground beef and a low-sodium spaghetti sauce.
They are also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies, as you can easily mix in grated carrots, zucchini, or spinach to the meat mixture.
