How much cooking time you need for the meatloaf depends on what shape you make
the loaf before you bake it. One way we like to do meatloaf around here is to
either make or buy meatloaf mix from our favorite butcher shop, then make
individual loaves that weigh about eight to ten ounces each. I then brown them
lightly on the top and bottom sides, then place them into a preheated
375-degree oven for about 15 minutes. I then brush the mini loaves with my
ketchup glaze and return to the oven for 5 minutes to set the glaze. If you
try this, you would need to make sure that the meat mixture is stiff enough to
hold its shape free form. I wouldn't try to bake half the amount of meat
mixture in the same size loaf pan you were going to use for the full recipe.

I’m not exactly sure. Somebody with a little bit more knowledge on cutting it
in half and the times would be your best bet.

Sorry I didn’t respond to this until now. Yes I spread the meat of
completely out. But kind of made it like a little sheep on the top of the
hamburger.

Hi, just curious, since you put the ½ cup ketchup on the bottom of the pan,
did you spread the meat loaf mixure over the whole pan or leave it in a loaf
shape in the center? Sounds like good meat loaf, thanks for sharing!
