These meatloaf cups are a delightful variation of the beloved comfort food. The individual portions boast all the familiar flavors of traditional meatloaf, but what sets them apart are their irresistibly scrumptious golden edges, adding an extra layer of indulgence to every bite. Freshly grated zucchini and onion are the secret ingredients for maintaining moisture, which effortlessly infuse your daily dose of vegetables without anyone even knowing!
