Mini Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Recipe
(Pin to Pinterest)

Pretty much everyone loves meatloaf. But the same old same old can get pretty boring. I like to give it a few updates to make it more appealing. The individual portion sizes are easy to serve and fun to eat. The addition of cheese, bacon and condiments gives this family staple a tasty update.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• 5 cheese sticks
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 2 Tbsp. mustard
• 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
• 7-8 –pieces of bacon (or about ¼ to ½ cup of precooked bacon pieces)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup plain bread crumbs

Preparation:

If using uncooked bacon, fry in a large non-stick pan until just beginning to crisp. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except cheese sticks, until thoroughly mixed. Separate your ground beef mixture into 5-6 loaves. Press a cheese stick into bottom of loaf, work to cover cheese completely with ground beef, forming a football shape.

Grab a rectangular bread pan and line with plain bread crumbs (this helps to absorb a lot of the fat when cooking). Place meat loaves on top of bread. Brush tops with additional ketchup. Cover with saran wrap and then aluminum foil, store in freezer until the morning of the day you choose to cook.

Cooking Directions:

Place pan in oven preheated to 350° for 45 minutes.

Serve with your favorite potatoes and a vegetable to finish off the meal.

Sweet and Saucy Stir -Fry without the drive to pick it up. Change your every day dinner up from plain old burgers and fries to something exotic and sure to please the palete. If you love the sweet and salty, healthy yet full of flavor, you will really appreciate this dish.

Ingredients:

1. Chop chicken into small bite sized strips.
2. Drain pineapple, set juice aside.
3. In a quart freezer bag mix chicken with salt and pepper to season.
4. In another quart freezer bag combine; pineapple, ½ cup of reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch.
5. In a third bag placed chicken pieces-salt and pepper to season.

I like to stack my bags, including a bag of microwaveable instant rice to go with it, and wrap with a large rubber band to keep it all together.

Cooking Directions:

Sauté chicken in a large non-stick pan with 1-2 Tbsps. Olive oil (or sesame if you have on hand, but not necessary) over medium high heat until cooked almost through. Add bag of pineapple mixture, allow to simmer for 3 -5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Serve over rice or your favorite noodles.
