Bacon Cheeseburger Mini Meatloaves
Recipe inspired by Paula Deen
1 pound ground beef - lean
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled into small pieces
1 (8-ounce) package sharp Cheddar, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
4 tablespoons prepared mustard
dill pickle slices for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.
Using a small cookie scoop place slightly rounded scoops on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet. Shape each scoop into a meatloaf shape. Spoon or brush the remaining ketchup mixture over loaves. Bake about 15 minutes, check internal temp for doneness. Top with a small dill pickle slice and serve.
Additional ketchup mixture could be made and served as a dip. Paula used french fried onion rings on her meatloaf. I used some on some of the meatloaves - but I was the only one who liked them - and they were a pain in the royal tusch!
******* Now - since my mind is not in attendance today I forgot to mention that I cut stale bread into slices and laid them on the foil lined baking sheet and set 3 little meatloaves on each. The bread soaks up any grease - although we didn't have much because the burger was quite lean. Bob wanted to eat the bread - but I tossed it in the compost bucket!!
What a fun little appy!
