Tasty Tuesday: Little Cheddar Meatloaves

This is our absolute favorite meat loaf recipe. It is incredibly flavorful and moist and we also like the fact that we can each have our own little meatloaf. I shaping the meatloaf into 8 small loaves also allows the sauce to flavor the meat better than normal meatloaf recipes do. This recipe also freezes well.
