Italian Mini-Meat Loaves

This is a great Rachel Ray recipe that Rex just loves! It is perfect because it makes mini meat loafs so you don't have a huge amount of leftovers. With the extras Rex likes a meat loaf sammy the next day for lunch! Your family will love this healthy, personal sized dinner. I serve them with baked sweet potatoes and corn muffins ...yum!
