My dear hubby loves meatloaf and so do I. I created this recipe and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. A great tip for freezer cooking is to consider using a Muffin Tin - it saves you so much time on baking and is a great portion control too! I serve with Broccoli Casserole and Mashed Potatoes.

This would go good with Betty Crockers mashed potatoes!
I agree!
Now I make meatloaf… but not with chili sauce. Interesting!
My hubby actually taught me
Do you make this..back it..Then freeze it..I am guessing this was fresh ground beef..If so I am going to do this..I am all about not having to worry about things..
Yes, I make it then I freeze it uncooked – thaw and bake!
I made these today with Ground Turkey It was amazing. I need to find the nurtitional values to put in my fitness pal !!
Ground Turkey or Ground Chicken would be a great option!
I’m confused about your recipe, it says 1/2 a cup of chilli sauce and then the instructions say to put the remaining chilli sauce on top, do you put 1/2 of the 1/2 a cup in the meat mixture and then place the rest on top?
Katie…the recipe says 1/2 BOTTLE of chili sauce in the meat mixture. Then use the remaining 1/2 bottle on top.
I love that this recipe is so simple. Is the picture with the muffin tin for this exact recipe or did you double it? Also, did you freeze the mini loafs in the muffin tin the entire time or switch them to another container after they were firm/set? Thanks.
The picture is the exact recipe, not doubled. Switched over to a ziploc bag after they were firm.
Sounds good, will be trying it soon! What brand of chili sauce did you use? & what size bottle??
These look delicious! Can’t wait to make them. What kind of chili sauce did you use?
My husband would probably like the hot sauce but I am more of a ketchup meatloaf girl. Since I am pregnant and sick I think my way wins this time…Any tips on how I can use this recipe but with ketchup instead. Thanks!
You can sub with ketchup no problem!
