Rose Mary's Notes:

This is my own personal take on a meat loaf recipe that I saw the Pioneer Woman make on Food Network. It is similiar but also different in so many ways. I know you will be pleased weather you make it as Individual or in the traditional size. The flavor is great, and I shared with my neighbors. You can also halves the recipe if you like, or freeze some for a day you do not have time to cook. It is a great recipe and the flavors are really great.Making individual servings is a quick way to get dinner on the table fast. My husband was very impressed, I won't mention how many he had. SMILE

Directions

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. In a large bowl add the 9 slices bread along with both packets of onion soup mix. Then pour the milk over all, try to saturate the slices of bread with milk and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.

Then add both the ground chuck and ground turkey to the bowl, along with the minced garlic, chopped onions,bell pepper & black pepper. Mix thourgly to combine.

Lightly spray a long jelly roll pan with non stick cooking spray. Then shape ground meat mixture into individual shaped mini meat loaves and place on pan. Allowing space between each loaf. Then take a strip of bacon and cut in half, (I cut about 5 slices at a time)& wrap each individual meat loaf in bacon, by width or the long way.

Now in a small bowl combine catsup with dry mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, & black pepper. Stir well to mix, and spread over each individual loaf, along base and on top. I had enough to make 14 individual meat loaves and 1 larger one, with a few slices of bacon left over, after all was said and done.

Place in preheated 350 degree F. Oven and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour. Serve with Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes and your choice of veggies. I made a stir fry of snow peas, onions, yellow squash & orange bell peppers.

Thank you so much Diane, we both had the same idea for dinner. LOL It was great, and I had enough to share with the neighbors, and they really loved it. Hope you and your family like it too. I always like to use a beef & turkey mixture, and it works out great. But I am sure you could use all of one or the other, according to your families preference. Thanks again Diane for your comments, I made mashed Potatoes last night, and a corn Souffle tonight Rose Mary's Corn Souffle Do keep me posted when you make them.

I've made the one PW has (received it in a newsletter from her web site)...it was a lot like one I already make.
Will try yours too...we love meatloaf.
I like making individual ones in a Muffin Tin, really make it easy.

Thanks Sandy for your comments, yes there must be a million versions of meat loaf, and this is a great one. What's not to love about meat loaf. Thanks again for your comments.

Hey sis, another new profile picture, really nice. Yes when I saw her make it, and what it looked like when it was done, I thought it would be a great recipe, however I felt the addition of the vegetables keeps it moist, and Onion soup mix is always one of my favorites, the bacon added a new dimention in flavor also. I love the glaze too, but I insist on using Heinz catsup, there is no better one in my opinion.

I am sure the muffin tins would make it a lot easier, but I just prefer to shape them like little mini loaves instead. It works out great for me, but what ever you are comfortable with, I want them to look like meat loaves and not muffins, so I just take the extra step. Thanks for your comments though and if you are in a hurry I am SURE THE MUFFIN CUPS WOULD COME IN HANDY. HAVE A GREAT DAY, AND IT IS GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
