Place in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
Place the remaining picante sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Pour over meat loaves. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and microwave on high for 45 seconds or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.
I didn't have cheese on hand, so I just mixed up the usual brown sugar, mustard, ketchup topping, but I guessed on the portions, and it was really mustardy. Eeew. Good thing Nate likes mustard. :) Molly and I split one loaf, and Nate ate the other one. With some baked potatoes it was plenty of food for all three of us. I'm sure I'll be making this again (especially on Thursdays when my creativity invariably heads for the hills).
