I have heard mixed reviews about meatloaf. Some love it. Some hate
it. My family loves it. But we don't like the tomato based topping that
you find on most meatloaves. I usually just add my ingredients and bake
it in the oven. But last night, well, I had bacon in the fridge, and I
had an idea!
So
basically I mixed my ground beef- hubby had sorted a large package and
left me a whopping 3 pounds to work with. I figured leftovers rock the
next day so I used it all. I added in 2 cups of bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of
Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, and ketchup. A heaping double squirt ( about
4 tblsp) of spicy brown mustard. About 2 large tblsp of chopped garlic,
2 eggs and a couple shakes of worchestershire. I also chopped a large
sweet onion and added about 1/2 of that to my meatloaf.
I mixed
the whole thing up, baked for 45 mins at 375 degrees then upped it to
400 for the last 15 minutes. Juicy- the bacon was crispy- and the best
part- my meatloaf didn't fall apart when I cut it!!
(and what to
do with leftover chopped vegs? stick them in a baggie in the freezer. I
keep onion and sweet peppers in there at all times, perfect for adding
to any cooked dish and they make an awesome omelet!!
