When we were house hunting in Boise one of our good friends invited us over for dinner. She served these Lil' Cheddar meatloaves and when I tasted them I thought I had died and gone to heaven. They are seasoned beautifully and on top is a ketchup, mustard, brown sugar mixture that I can seriously lick right out of the bowl. I begged my friend for the recipe and she graciously gave it to me. It is one of my go-to meals for Sunday dinner and I often compliment it with Heavenly Potatoes (they are actually called Funeral Potatoes but I'm a glass half-full kind of girl).
The great thing about making these together is that they take the same amount of time to cook. 45 minutes and dinner is ready! I hope you enjoy.
