hmmm, the mini ones would make a wonderful hoagie sandwich for the lunch box. I’m going to try this

Earth Balance now has a soy free, dairy free spread which is very good. It comes in a red tub.

I am also a fan of using olive oil rather than spread on garlic bread… Those mini meatloaves are too cute, and perfectly portioned!

Wow – what a great idea. I had never thought of making mini meat loaves like that… I just bought ingredients for meatloaf today – good timing! Thanks!

Smart Balance Light (33% less one) is also dairy-free, and the entire Earth Balance line is – http://www.earthbalancenatural.com.

We do these a lot and freeze them also. Another good way is to use spaghetti sauce and right before they are done i sprinkle them with a little cheese.

Great idea. I like the mini meatloaf. If you make a lot of them, you can freeze them. Then use them as meatballs. Good with pasta, sandwich, pizza etc:) Yummy.

Thanks for sharing.

I’ve done meatloaves in muffin tins, never thought of mini-muffins though – neat idea! My kids love my little meatballs, but it’s got to be easier to plop into the tin than roll all of them!

I’ve seen Fleishmann’s margarine both with and without dairy, so read labels!

The dairy-free variety tends to be sold in stores located close to Orthodox Jewish populations, since their Kosher laws prohibit mixing meat and dairy items (within 6 hours of each other!), so they can’t serve butter with their bread at any meal where meat is served. You can ask at your local synagogue, or try googling “Kosher Store” plus whatever city you live near. There are even entire Kosher stores.

You can also contact Fleishmann’s directly, and ask where their dairy-free margarine is sold, or whether you can order it via Internet.

Meatloaf is on the menu for tomorrow (Saturday) night. I normally make mine in mini loaf pans because the boys like them that way, but I never thought of muffin tins. Definitely going to try the meatloaf bites this time.
