Something that works well for me, and probably would work with the
mini-meatloaf's too, is to mix up the meatloaf mix but not bake it before
placing
it in the freezer. I found when I tried to reheat a frozen, already baked
meatloaf, mine tasted overcooked. But if I froze it raw and then baked it,
it tasted just right.
-------------------
I have been making up my meatloaf and freezing them uncooked. I freeze in
shapes that fit my crockpot(s) and then can just pop the frozen meatloaf in
the crock to cook. Since the newer crocks cook so much hotter, it also helps
my cooking time (I also often put a layer of potato and/or onion wedges on
the bottom of the crock before putting the meatloaf in-if the crock cooks
too hot or long, my meatloaf doesn't get burned and I can always toss them
if I have to, otherwise, they are part of the meal. If doing the mini
meatloaves, you should be able to do the same thing with one of those small
crockettes-I think that especially for an older person who may have a
diminished appetite, the smell of the food cooking in the crock help
stimulate their appetite and they tend to eat better and enjoy the food
more. They also tend to eat more regularly because they aren't just popping
something in the microwave when they happen to think about it.
