Mini BBQ Cheddar Meatloaves

These mini meatloaves are so adorable! I couldn't help it and had to try them out and we were pleased with how they tasted. We had these meatloaves with steamed fresh green beans and some oven roasted carrots. You will love these. Feel free to use beef or ground turkey for these. I used lean, organic ground beef.
