Easy Dinner for a Busy Weeknight Italian Mini Meat Loaves

These mini meat loaves are super easy to pull together even on a busy night. What my family loves about them is that they are full of flavor and are small in size. I love that they are mini because that means each meatloaf has more of that crispy crust on it. The other thing about these is that you can omit or add so many different things into these and change up the flavor.
