I grew up eating this Meatloaf. It is one of my favorite recipes for many reasons. I usually mix one up and keep it in the freezer for an easy dinner. This is a no mess recipe. Well, if you can call it a recipe because I tend to cook by throwing things together - not really measuring so take my measurements with a grain of salt please.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 cup stuffing
- 1 egg
- 3 strips of bacon
To make this a no mess recipe, I mix the first 3 ingredients together in a plastic bag, keeping my hands clean. Forming it into a loaf, I place it in my loaf pan (minus the bag) and top with the bacon. Bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour.
Throw in a couple of potatoes and you have an easy peasy dinner.
We were so hungry we dug in and I forgot to take a glam shot of the results - I'll add it next time. We have this as a regular meal.
Suggestions:
- I store the stuffing in the freezer.
- I use the herb flavored stuffing because it contains all the spice and flavor in one ingredient.
- I use a loaf pan that lets the grease drop down making it less messy to serve and healthier to eat.
- The bacon is optional but who doesn't love bacon!
- If you don't plan on cooking but want to freeze it, after mixing in the bag, just put the bag in the freezer to use later.
