Servings: 22 Mini Meatloaves
Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed stove top stuffing dry mix
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- (2) 12 ounce bacon, regular thickness
Topping
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
Meatloaf
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the topping ingredients.
- Shape into 2-inch oblong meatloaves.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each one and place on the prepared baking sheet and rack. Secure each one with two toothpicks to keep the bacon in place.
Topping
- In a small bowl, stir barbecue sauce and ketchup together. Spread over the top of the meatloaves. Brush again half way through, if desired.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165, and the bacon is crispy.
Notes
- Don't overwork the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing causes dry meatloaf.
- The easiest way to mix your meatloaf is with clean hands.
- It's important to use a baking rack so your meatloaves aren't sitting in grease.
