Mini Mushroom Meatloaves

Cooking dinner these days has been a bit of a challenge. When it comes time for dinner, I can usually be found running between feeding the baby, trying to keep him from throwing all of the food on the floor and pleading with my toddler to eat what I made her for dinner. By the time my husband walks through the door, both kids are almost done and I'm ready for a breather. Nine times out of ten, we have about 30 minutes to cook and eat dinner before bedtime routine starts.

So, I've been looking for recipes I can either prep beforehand with little cook time or one pot meals. The recipe below is about a 35 minute meal. With 5 minutes of prep time and 30 minutes of cook time. The meatloaves were moist with a slight crisp around the edges, just how I like them. What I love about making meatloaf in the muffin tin is that it's a great way to portion control and they are easy to take for lunch the next day! Enjoy.
