BACON-WRAPPED STUFFED MEATLOAF WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Place 1/2 of the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the diced onion and 4 chopped garlic cloves and lightly saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large bowl, and add ground beef, ground pork, eggs, parsley, paprika, pepper, and sea salt. Blend together with your hands until mostly combined. Place in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay a 2-foot square piece of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
• Wipe the skillet clean, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat over medium heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute until all moisture has evaporated and mushrooms start to turn dark reddish-brown with golden spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Add remaining 2 cloves chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Place meat mixture in the center of the aluminum foil and shape meat into an evenly thick square about 1/2 inch thick, making sure there are no gaps or thin spots. Cover meat with overlapping slices of Provolone cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch to 1 inch uncovered meat around the perimeter. Lay cooked bacon strips over Provolone cheese and spread mushrooms evenly over bacon.
• Lift one end of the foil and begin rolling the meat in a pinwheel fashion. Place meatloaf in a baking dish, molding the ends to create a seal around the stuffing; discard the foil. Lay remaining uncooked bacon over meatloaf, leaving about 1/4 inch between each slice, and tucking ends in under the loaf.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway. Switch to the broil setting and cook until meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

BACON WRAPPED BBQ MEATLOAF STUFFED WITH CHEESE!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Get out a 9x13 baking pan. Do not use a bread pan. You can line this with foil to help with clean up, or just spray with a non-stick spray. Set aside.
• 2. Keep hamburger in the refrigerator until the last minute. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, minced garlic, dry mustard, oregano, basil, pepper, onion and bell pepper. Stir it around a bit to get everything mixed. Add the 2 tsp bbq sauce and egg; mix. Grab the rest of the ingredients... this will go quickly so the "loaf" holds its shape.
• 3. Take the hamburger and add this to the bowl, QUICKLY mix together with clean hands... forget the spoon. Place 1/2 of the hamburger mix in the center of your pan. Make a "well" with your hand so it looks like a hollowed out 1/2 potato. Add 3/4 cup of the cheese and gently press it in.
• 4. Add the second half of the hamburger on top and press it together and shape like a log.
• 5. Lay the bacon strips on top of the loaf.
• 6. Smear the last 2 tbsp of bbq sauce on top of the bacon. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of the sauce and put this into the oven for 60 minutes. (temp should be 160°F internally)
• 7. After 60 minutes, you can sprinkle the remaining 1/4 c cheese on top and return it to the oven for 5 minutes, just to let the cheese melt. If you don't want to to this, you can just stuff all the cheese inside and leave the outside to the bacon and bbq sauce.

ZUCCHINI AND CHEESE STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Grate zucchini and place in a large bowl. I squeezed out some of the liquid, but wasn't really too concerned because I like my meatloaf juicy and moist.
• 2. To the zucchini add the egg, milk, oregano, minced onion, salt, pepper, Worcestershire and bread crumbs. Mix well and add the sirloin and sausage. Combine meats with seasonings, but don't over mix, as the meat will get overworked and tough.
• 3. Remove from the bowl and flatten your meat mixture to about 1 inch in height. Place your cheese in the middle of your rolled out loaf. You might want to add more cheese, but beware, if there's too much cheese inside it will find a way to seep out while it's cooking, and will just about disappear.
• 4. Roll loaf back up to cover the cheese and place in a baking dish prepped with cooking spray. Top with your favorite marinara sauce and bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours.
• 5. Let sit for about 15 minutes and slice. And if you like to bring your lunch to work with you, a slice of this cheesy little zucchini-filled meatloaf makes a super sandwich. One minute in the microwave, a little extra sauce, and you're all set! Hope you enjoy:)
