Little Cheddar Meat Loaves
Little Cheddar Meat Loaves are mini versions of the classic meatloaf, made with ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and savory seasonings. These meat loaves are moist, cheesy, and packed with flavor—thanks to a blend of ketchup, onion, and sauce. Shaped by hand, they cook faster than a traditional meatloaf and are great for kids and adults alike. Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies for a comforting, satisfying meal.
