Mini Meatloaf

 I only used ground beef for this recipe. Some may like to use ground pork, veal, turkey, or mix them all up together for a combination of flavours. I was really surprised at how good it was. Flavourful and juicy, all the while satisfying any meat craving you may have. One change I would make is to sauté the onions beforehand so they are fully cooked & soften before added to the meat.
