Li'l Cheddar Meat Loaves

I have a confession to make. Don't tell anyone, but I'm addicted to recipes. I know it's shameful. I should be cleaning and doing laundry, but instead I'm spending entirely to much time scouring the internet and cook books for recipes. I found this recipe for Li'l Cheddar Meat Loaves while looking on the Taste of Home website. I like reading the Taste of Home cookbooks at the checkout counter while I'm waiting to put my stuff on the conveyor belt at the grocery store. If a recipe strikes my fancy I write the name down on my grocery list and then look it up on the website when I get home. I think that may be considered cheating... I'm sorry Taste of Home, but I do subscribe to 3 of your publications and am paying you enough money! This was a recipe I wasn't even looking for. It was one that popped up along the side as one I might like to try. I clicked on it and it had 74 good reviews, so I knew it had to be good. I was right. These yummy little loaves are moist and tangy, but sweet. They're also a lot faster than traditional meat loaf because they cook in only 25 minutes! If you really wanted you could make one big meatloaf, but these small ones are so fun :) At only 65 cents per meat loaf, I would consider these tasty little babies a steal. I will definitely be making these again. They're simple and delicious!
