Mini Cheddar Meat Loaves

Yeah, yeah - I know what you are thinking! Meat loaf - GAG! I am not the biggest fan of the old fashioned meat loaf that grandma made - but these little babies - well, they are delish! My kids devour them and to be honest, so do Mike and I. The recipe uses all simple ingredients that most people have on-hand and it goes perfectly with some mashed potatoes and corn. A crescent roll on the side isn't too shabby either.
