Bacon Cheese Meatloaf Recipe, Mom’s Sweet Muffins and More!

This Bacon Cheese Meatloaf Recipe is a super yummy recipe that everyone will love! You’ll also get tasty recipes for Texas Potatoes and Mom’s Sweet Muffins!

This Bacon Cheese Meatloaf Recipe is a tasty variation on meatloaf with the delicious taste of bacon and cheese! Who thought meatloaf could get any better?

Tips

  • If your cutting board slides around while using it, place a damp dishrag or towel under it to prevent sliding.
  • Using a bowl to put your trash in while cooking is nice but an even easier idea is to lay a plastic grocery bag opened up and flatten by your work area instead. This way, you can close and tie up the bag when you are done and either put it in the trash or compost pile. With a bowl, you have to carefully try to dump it all in the trash when you are done, sometimes causing stuff to spill. You also have a dirty bowl to wash. Using the bag, I don’t feel like I have to worry about dumping it right away because it is sealed and won’t attract flies or gnats and it won’t smell.
  • Slightly frozen meat cuts much easier than fully thawed meat.

Menu:

Bacon Cheese Meatloaf*
Texas Potatoes*
Peas and Carrots
Mom’s Sweet Muffins*
Orange Ambrosia*

 

Recipes:

Bacon Cheese Meatloaf Recipe

1 egg
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups swiss cheese, grated
1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 10 slices)
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs (leftover dinner rolls are especially good)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

Combine everything except for 1/2 cup of the swiss cheese and 1/4 cup of the bacon. Mix well and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan or baking dish.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour until meat is no longer pink or a thermometer is at 160 degrees.

Drain. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bacon and bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Texas Potatoes

1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz. sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 Tbsp. margarine, melted
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 lb. frozen hash browns

Combine everything. Place in a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

 

Mom’s Sweet Muffins

1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Place 2/3 full in greased muffin tins or muffin tins lined with papers. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.

 

Orange Ambrosia

1/3 cup granola cereal (without raisins)
1/3 cup coconut
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1 banana, sliced
4 (6 oz.) cartons orange yogurt
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained.

Mix cereal, nuts, and coconut. In bowls or parfait glasses, layer 1/2 container yogurt, fruit and 2 Tbsp. of cereal mix for each bowl. Layer again and garnish with oranges. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

    These recipes sound good and simple for older people that get tired easy, women that work and women that have children and are in a hurry. I’m anxious to try they.

    I am excited to try these Texas potatoes!! I inherited a recipe for Texas potatoes from my husband’s grandmother, but since it calls for 2 sticks of butter I hardly ever make it–one of my hubby’s favorites, though. Perhaps this will be a good swap out for when it isn’t a holiday. :)

    Cheaper than the plastic bag is using sheets of newspaper to lay trash on. Wrap up nicely and throw in the trash when you are done. Good for when the food waste is to go in your own or municipal compost. The paper is biodegradable and I also like that it is flat right away.
    Learned this from grandma. She also used sheets of newspaper, previously cut to preferred size, to get anything gooey from the sink, instead of dirtying a rag or using paper towels.

      Yes years ago before plastic bags we use to use newspaper for everything and you are right it works great. I don’t take the newspaper any more because it is way to expense here and I get the plastic bags for free. I miss not having my stack of newspapers so much. I actually a couple of days ago asked my neighbor if she could get some for me from her mom. I use them in the flower beds to lay a thick layer to keep the weeds down. Like you say they decompose after a couple of years and are good for the soil.

    The Texas Potatoes are a hit wherever I take them! Dinner Day Sundays at church are an especially good place to serve them. A few weeks ago, I was out of cream of chicken soup, so I substituted cream of mushroom soup. I think those potatoes “went over” even better than the dish made with cream of chicken soup! Yes, it changes the way it looks (makes it darker), but the taste more than made up for the difference in color. Awesome recipe! Not too many ingredients, and a stick-to-your-ribs kind of dish! Perfect!!!

    Thank you for the new recipes the Texas potatoes are going to be tried and the bacon cheese meatloaf sounds good also. Everything sounds delicious. Some recipes I will have to cut back on the ingredients or invite someone for supper , or pick things I know can freeze afterwards. Thank you .
