I use this recipe alot. Instead of using ground beef, I use turkey burger. It comes out perfectly everytime. When I am having a get together with my family we have over 12 people and this recipe is easy to double or even triple and doesn't take up lots of space in my oven. I think everything works out perfectly.

These were a great concept, but not so impressed. I like the idea of putting them in muffin pans and making individual servings. I actually think this stretches the servings well. But, I was not so impressed with the "italian" flavor. The pizza sauce flavor was just too much, although it may have been the brand of sauce and not so much the recipe itself. Would definitely make my own meatloaf recipe in the muffin pans again, but would not use this recipe itself.
