Tips from me to u:
19

I used motz cheese for both meatloaf and potatoes the motz I used was infused with oregano. But u can use any type of cheese you wish. Just use the same cheese in meatloaf and in potatoes so flavors don't clash. :)

Makes 9 jumbo meatloaf cupcakes. Wich will serve 5-9 people depending on how big of an eater you are.

They do reheat well! So great for lunch the next day!
