Kid-pleasing mini meatloaf recipe
Let’s be honest, when it comes to meals that are flavoursome but lack in the looks department, top of the list could well be meatloaf. Just remember, looks aren’t everything! Packing a delicious punch of flavour, this recipe will have the kids coming back for more!
For this meatloaf recipe, I’m using the super-handy Kmart Mini Loaf Tray. This means every little person can have their very own mini meatloaf, and slicing them in half makes great fillings for hamburgers the next day. The recipe can also be made in a regular loaf tin, it will need to be cooked for around an hour to be cooked through.
