Tips from Shelby:
I usually make 1 loaf in a regular loaf pan for dinner the night I am cooking the meatloaf. I then use the rest to make meatloaf muffins to freeze. To make meatloaf muffins, just fill a regular size muffin cup mostly full of the meatloaf mixture and then top with sauce if desired. These take less time to cook - probably 30 minutes would do it. I freeze the muffins to pull out for meals for Kenzie one at a time or I'll pull them all out at once for family dinner. Very easy to thaw and versatile to use! You can even crumble them up and make last minute spaghetti if you are in a pinch for something fast for a kiddo.

It is not really that spicy - the rotel is the only thing that adds the spice and I think most of yall know what that tastes like. Also, the chili sauce is not that spicy either - just a little twist on ketchup. Kenzie eats this all the time with no problems with the spicy.

Y'all thank Carol for this one - it is her original recipe.
