Individual Mini Meatloaf

Makes: 9 – 12 difference sized ones

My family loves the vegetable full meatloaf and today I decided to make mini individual ones.

I usually make the vegetables sauté in the morning so there is enough time for it to cool.

Some of the family like hardboiled eggs and others don't, therefore you can make them with or without the egg. You just have to boil enough eggs for the loaves that have them.
