First for the ground meat that I am turning into meatloaf... here is the mix. Sorry to all the pregnant women who cannot stand the sight of raw meat!

Next, I took all the meatloaf and made into huge meat balls. Here is "our" thing... hubs and I both like the ends to the meatloaf so I don't make in a loaf pan. I push them into the muffin pans and make meat loaf muffins. This definitely works out to our advantage. Here are our meat loaf muffin balls. I put them on a cookie sheet and am sticking them in the freezer. I ended up with eleven of them. Once they are frozen then I will put in a freezer bag. I have a few reasons for doing this.















I freeze them individually like that so they won't stick to each other once I put them in a freezer bag. This is for multiple reasons. For the four of us I would probably only cook six of them. If we end up with company then I can pull out more. The opposite applies if hubs is working one night and I only need to cook for the girls and myself. ALSO, one more reason to freeze as huge balls... if we want to grill out one night then we can just mash them into burgers.

Look for short cuts every where you go... you might be surprised with what you come up with!
