Expert Tips

Small individual meat cups bake faster than one large meatloaf. This recipe puts dinner on the table more quickly than if a traditional meatloaf recipe were used.
Prepare these meat cups one day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate them. Uncover and bake meat cups, adding 3 to 5 minutes to baking time.
Serve these meat cups with french fries, cherry tomatoes and lemonade.
