This is a very good, very simple meatloaf recipe, and it’s a real stick-to-your-ribber. You can either make it as one big family-style loaf or as mini loaves for individual servings. Just keep in mind that the family-style loaf takes longer to cook, about 75 minutes, while the mini loaves bake in just 40 minutes, making them more doable on a weeknight. I recommend cooking the meatloaf on a baking sheet rather than in a loaf pan, as it allows for better heat circulation and more surface area for browning. Using a baking sheet also allows any excess fat to drain away, resulting in a healthier finished dish.
