We created this recipe to convince my son to try meatloaf—adding blue cheese and bacon for flavor —and it works. —Lila Allen, Fallon, Nevada
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds ground turkey or beef
topping:
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot and onion; cook and stir until tender. Cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, crumbled bacon, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, spices and carrot mixture. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly.
3. Shape into an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°.
4. In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients; mix well. Pat onto meat loaf; let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Remove to a platter. Yield: 1 loaf (8 servings).
