Meat Loaf Muffins With Tomato Sauce

This idea is pure genius! I didn’t invent the idea. I found a recipe for meat loaf cupcakes with mashed potatoes as frosting. I decided to make meat loaf muffins instead. I used my favorite meat loaf recipe. The genius is this: My original recipe baked for 1.5 hours! Ninety minutes! When you make meat loaf muffins, they bake in only 25 minutes. They also cook more evenly and a muffin defines a serving. You can freeze some for later too.
