It's chilly out, so why not have some meat and potatoes? I used to think I hated meatloaf, but that's until I actually had it made so that it doesn't taste like shoe leather. Apparently it doesn't have to taste like it was made out of pureed jerky. Who knew?Anyway, sometimes I'm lazy and a whole meatloaf can take forever to cook, so I figured why not make a bunch of mini loaves? And while I was at it, I decided to wrap the meatloaf around a stick of cheese. You know, for health reasons. I decided to do some oven-roasted potatoes with these because you just can't have meatloaf without potatoes.
