Apple Bacon Meatloaf
1 1/2 to 2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 to 1 pound Italian Sausage
2 Eggs
1 c. bread crumbs or crushed herb stuffing crumbs
1 medium Sweet Onion, chopped
1 Gala or Fuji Apple, chopped
6 pieces Cooked Bacon, chopped
6 pieces Uncooked Bacon
1 c. Apple Butter (separated 1/2 c. for meatloaf and 1/2 c. for glaze)
1/2 c. Cinnamon Apple Sauce
6 Tbs. Hickory Barbecue Sauce (3 for meatloaf and 3 for glaze)
Salt and Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2 loaf pans. Line the bottom of each loaf pan with bread slices. (This will soak up any grease from the cooking meatloaf.) Set aside. Combine meats, eggs, bread crumbs, onion, apple, chopped bacon, apple butter, apple sauce, and barbecue sauce using your hands to mix thoroughly. Salt and pepper to your liking. Mix thoroughly. Separate and put into loaf pans. Mix the rest of the apple butter and barbecue sauce to make glaze. Spread over top of meatloaf mixture. Place 3 slices of uncooked bacon on each loaf. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until cooked through. Switch oven to broil setting. Broil for 10 minutes or until bacon on top is crisp. Let meatloaf rest before moving to serving plate. (Remember, the bread is not for eating. It is soaked with grease. Just discard.)
Mashed Cauliflower
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
4 c. chicken stock or broth
1/2 container Philly Garlic Cooking Cream
1/2 stick butter
Salt and Pepper
Chives for garnish
Place cauliflower florets in a large pot. Cover with chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil. Then, leave covered and simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover and bring heat back up to medium high. Cook for about 10 more minutes. Drain. Add cooking cream, butter, salt and pepper. Mix with a hand mixer until desired consistency for your taste. Move to a serving bowl. Garnish with a pat of butter and chives.
Enjoy!
