Cheese-Stuffed Mini Meat Loaves

"Meatloaf is a classic dish that's perfect for a hearty weeknight meal. And, while this was a very simple version which saves on time and effort in the kitchen due to the pre-made sauce it definitely..." See more falls short of expectations in taste. I followed the recipe exactly, but found the meat mixture to be way too soft to form. I ended up adding additional panko bread crumbs along with some garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. I formed these into four mini meat loaves vs. trying to stuff into muffin pans which worked out better for me. Due to the size I baked this at 400 for 30-35 minutes in a glass baking dish. I topped with the sauce vs. adding later. I also spinkled with some additional grated Parmesan cheese over top and served it with garlic mashed potatoes and peas. Overall, not bad for an Italian-style version of meatloaf but without some tweaking I don't think I would make this again...."

"Actually thought this was pretty darn good. I doubled the recipe so I could freeze some of the meatloaf, and instead of muffin tins I did two things: made 3 mini loaves of meatloaf to freeze, and ma..." See morede some sliders for my son and me to eat tonight. I loved the flavor that the roasted tomato cooking sauce gave the meatloaf. I have always used ketchup when mixing meatloaf, so I was really pleased to see this variation. I used white onion vice green onion. And, both with the mini meat loaves and the sliders, I put string cheese in the middle - fantastic surprise! Lastly, I added some additional seasoning to the mix, and instead of mixing the panko crumbs and sauce separately, I just mixed it all together in the same mixing bowl. Pretty awesome!!"

"I originally rated these a 3, but after tasting them again, I had to change it to a 2 and change my review...These were ok, but most likely not something I would make again... I also felt that they co..." See moreuld use more seasoning, as another reviewer suggested. I used regular onion b/c that's what I had...these smelled wonderful while baking, but just fell short in the flavor/overall taste department, and I felt that all I could taste was the seasonings in the sauce, which I'm not crazy about. They were very moist, so I will say that! I actually liked these better before adding the extra sauce over top. Unfortunately, I think I'm just not a fan of the sauce, period...Sorry, but Thanks for sharing. :)"
