Mini meatloafs

When I was a little girl my Mom taught me a lot of different things to cook; one of my favorite old photos is of us making meatloaf. It s a simple food that many people consider to be a very american dish. Now a days regular meatloaf can be doctored into all different kinds of flavors.

I forgot to take pictures sadly but here are some new tasty meatloaf recipes to try:

2 pounds of ground beef
1 small sweet onion
3 baby bella mushrooms
3 slices of bacon
Sharp cheddar cheese; grated
Parmesean, asiago and mozzerella cheese; grated
Teryaki sauce
Ketchup
Mustard(your favorite flavor)
1 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers
2 eggs
Olive oil

This recipe is divided into four mini loaves I use my pampered chef stoneware mini loaf pan but any style of mini loaf pan will work. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Chop the onions and grill in olive oil then put aside. Then grill the bacon slices. (Do not over cook the bacon.) put aside as well.

Beat the eggs and mix in the bread crumbs and the onions then divide into four parts.
In one part add 4 tablespoons teryaki sauce.
In second batch crumble up the bacon except one half slice and about 1/4 cup cheddar cheese.
In third batch slice up the mushrooms except 4 larger slices and 1/4 cup white cheese, mix in.
In the last batch mix in 2-3 table spoons ketchup and 2-3 tablespoons mustard.

Finally divide the ground beef into 4 even parts. Then gently mix in the ground beef be careful to not over mix the ground beef as this can make the meatloaf very dense and heavy. Treat your mini loaf pans however you need to prevent sticking.

Fill each loaf pan with each mixture taking the saved half slice of bacon and puting it on the bacon cheese loaf. The sliced mushrooms go on top of the mushroom and white cheese loaf.

Bake for 30-45 minutes.

After you remove the loaves from the oven you can sprinkle additional cheese on top of the two cheese loafs.
