Instructions
Preheat oven to 350˚F. For easiest cleanup, line a jelly roll or half-sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, making sure the lining comes up the sides of the pan.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, and stir gently just until combined. Don’t squeeze the mixture; too much compression makes a tough result.
Form the mixture into 6 to 8 oval “loafies”. Wet hands with cool water to keep it from sticking to your hands. Space the individual loaves on the baking sheet.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until cooked through. Check the internal temperature: it should be 160-165 for mini loaves. Let them rest 5 minutes before serving. You’ll want to let them cool completely to get nice even slices for the best meatloaf sandwiches.
