So I wasn’t lying when I said these were ugly! I’d be lying if I said I’ve seen a beautiful meatloaf….because I haven’t. Its one of those dishes that taste better than they look.  I promise you, if you try these, you might just have them as a regular go-to dinner during the week because they are so quick and easy and taste good!  Mild, but with a great flavor, so I wouldn’t be surprised if your kids go for these too!

Topping (optional) honey mustard. Store bought, or honey mixed with yellow mustard (half and half)

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients except the topping. Spray a muffin tin or loaf pan with cooking spray.
