TheGayHare's 3 Meat Mini Meatloaf

Ingredients:

2 pounds meat loaf mix:
(1 pound ground chuck, ½ pound ground pork, ½ pound ground turkey)
¾ cup fresh, toasted breadcrumbs
1/2 cup french's fried onions
6-8 bacon slices
Prepared Meat Loaf Glaze (see Glaze recipe)
2 large eggs
1 tbsp mustard powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp dried oregano
½ cup half & half (or whole milk)

What to do:
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
STEP 2: Combine eggs with chives, mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, cumin, basil, oregano, and half & half. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl along with breadcrumbs and onions mix with fingers until evenly blended and not sticking to bowl. (If sticky, add a little more liquid.)
STEP 3: Place meat mix on a rack on a shallow, baking pan, and form loaves approximately 5 inches long, 2 inches wide and 2 inches high (you can eyeball it). Brush on half of glaze (reserve rest for dipping or additional glazing during last 15 minutes) and add bacon strips, crosswise, tucking ends beneath the loaf.
STEP 4: Bake loaves until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (about 40 minutes). Cool at least 10 minutes. Serve with extra glaze dipping/gravy sauce.


Meat Loaf Glaze

Ingredients:
½ cup ketchup
4 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp white vinegar


What to do:
STEP 1: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
STEP 2: Spread half of glaze over prepared loaf before cooking. Remainder can be added to the meatloaf 15 minutes before it’s done, for a thicker glaze, or simmered over medium heat to produce a tasty dipping sauce.
