I’m back!!
I’d love to say that I’m happy to be back but that’s a lie. I loved Florida and all the sun & warm weather… I am happy to get back into the swing of this blogging thing though. I feel like I’ve been gone forever even though it’s only been a week… I haven’t opened my reader yet and am a bit worried what that’ll look like!
My original idea for today’s post was going to be sharing some of the delicious food I had while at Disney and the recipes for them. I was told by our waiter that the recipes for all the food we had and for most of the other Disney restaurants were available on the website but I have yet to find them. So that’ll have to wait for another post I suppose.
We got back and first thing I had to do was (not unpack… the suitcase is still sitting by the back door) hit up the grocery store because my kids expected to eat breakfast and all that the next day. It was a pretty nice shopping trip since I was able to go all alone… it’s the little things in life that make it special.
Anyway, this recipe is so simple and delicious that I had to share it with you. Oh, I should tell you that I didn’t create this one on my own. It’s all courtesy of the Taste of Home magazine that I was reading in the urgent care office while waiting for them to look at my daughter’s pink eye and give us a prescription (that’s another story).
Ingredients
- 1 box of Stove Top stuffing - any flavor you like will work
- 1 C water
- 2 Tbsp hickory smoked bbq sauce or whatever kind you have on hand
- 1 lb ground beef - I used a 96/4 blend
- 1/4 - 1/2 lb ground pork - this wasn't in the orignal recipe but I always add it to my lean ground beef
- 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
- Other things that I threw in because I like them...
- pepper
- dried onions
- garlic
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the stuffing, water, bbq sauce and any extras you want to throw in together. Mix in the ground beef and pork if you're using it.
- Scoop 1/3 cup into each of 12 ungreased muffin cups.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes in a pre-heated 375 degree oven.
- Top each little meat loaf with the shredded cheese and put them back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
I think that I’ll give this a try with some ground turkey and leave out the bbq sauce and cheese and then top them with some gravy. It’ll be like Thanksgiving made super simple!
Mini bbq meatloaves are perfect for a busy night because they really don’t take much more than 30 – 40 minutes from beginning to end. Beat that Rachael Ray!
What is your go to, super fast dinner?
