This is for Amy's mother?

Yes. And her father. :-)

It's a nice thing that you're doing to bring food.

She would do it for me in a heartbeat. :-) We've been friends for a
long time.

That's interesting. Rob does not like cold leftover meat. He will
always heat it before eating. Usually in barbecue sauce. :-/

I'm not sure about the grilling. Door #1 seems to be a nice option. She can
make a meal immediately and then later on as needed. That's my vote.

Yes, baking first is how it will go.
The grilling thing came about from thinking about individual portions to
bake and eat and then it went to. . . . . oh, never mind,

So make her a shepherd's pie instead in those 1 serving size disposable

I loved leftover meatloaf/lettuce and ketchup sandwiches as a kid.

A friend's daughter is facing a tough row to hoe coupled with a very
tall mountain to climb. (See link in my sig line * for background read
her first couple journal entries). * My friend is meeting herself coming

(for my friend -- her daughter has her own network of help). *I'm
thinking of making some meatloaf.

One plan: *Make and bake a full size meatloaf *(a couple pounds of meat)
and deliver maybe 1/3 of it intact for them to enjoy soon *and include
the rest of the meatloaf in bagged slices for the freezer with heating
and serving instructions.

Another plan: *Make the meatloaf and deliver it raw for the freezer. *
If I do this I'm thinking I'll make small loaves ‹ likely sized for
individual portions - to be baked at will. * *IF I go that route, what
baking instructions do I include? *Bake from frozen for x amount of time
(to allow for frozen state) where x is what?? * Can I form them into
salisbury steak-like shapes?

Let's say those portions are maybe 1/3#. *Heck, at that weight, I can
shape the meatloaf mixture into patties and have her grill them like
burgers. * What do you think of that possibility? *(It just came to me;
I'm not devoted to the thought but am willing to offer it to my friend,
though I think it's too much like having "to cook something for dinner.."

I'm leaning to baking first; the less my friend has to do to put food on
the table, the happier we'll both be. *

Whaddaya think?

Freezing raw meat loaf is not food safe. *Bake it in those giant
muffin tins, then freeze.... zap 3-4 minutes each meat muffin in the
nuker they'll be piping hot. *Goes well with mashed taters, gravy, and
harvard beets

I'm not sure why you think freezing uncooked meatloaf is not safe. *As
long as the ingredients are fresh, there should be no problem with
bacteria.

It's GROUND beef.

Next time yoose shop check the frozen foods section and see if you can
find a prepared meat dish (any meat) that's uncooked.

I have to agree. Leftovers from a a good meat loaf make terrific sandwiches.

When I was a kid, it was leftover meatloaf with butter. When I
say butter, understand I mean margarine, the healthful alternative.

Miz Anne does the same thing with cold meatloaf. Me, I love a cold
meatloaf sandwich on multi-grain bread with a leetle catsup on it.

I think a version of your first option is best. Bake the entire
meatloaf, but deliver it whole. Suggest that they might want to
freeze portion slices of what they don't initially eat.

Nononono......it's cold meatloaf, onion and KETCHUP sandwiches on toast!

sauce. on rye or maybe some kind of roll.
