I love making meatloaf like this- easy to freeze and pop one or two out for easy meals. I use bread instead of oatmeal though. Just another option.
They slice great for sandwiches if you have leftovers.:
Mini meat loaves are individual-sized portions of the classic comfort food, perfect for a quick and easy dinner. To make mini meat loaves, you’ll need ground meat (such as beef, turkey, or a combination), breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like.:
Simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, then shape the mixture into small loaves. You can bake them in muffin tins for easy portioning and serving.
For a finishing touch, you can top the mini meat loaves with ketchup, barbecue sauce, or a glaze made from brown sugar and mustard before baking. Serve them with mashed potatoes and green beans for a classic comfort food meal that’s sure to please.

I like to put my loaves in a rack over a foil lined pan. It allows the grease to drain away and makes clean up a breeze
