I can't wait to make this for the seniors lunch,when,we asked the seniors what their favorite foods.Meatloaf and mashed potatoes came up very often.When we did individual chicken pies they were so happy to have their very own pie,so I know they will love these small meat loaves. You can make your own favorite meatloaf recipe. You can also omit the parsley on top,add grated cheese and place in hot oven just to melt.You can also add vegetables and make mini Shepherds pies.Also,omit the tomato sauce on top and drizzle with brown gravy.
