Do you have a favorite meatloaf recipe? Mix that up and roll into 1.5"
balls and bake on a cookie sheet at 375 or 400 degrees until they look
done (but you know they are still raw or rare in the middle.) Cool, and
bag them and freeze 'em. Finish cooking them later in the sauce. No
need to thaw them first.

If you think your meatloaf recipe is too gooey to work with, leave out
one of the eggs.

Best regards,
Bob
