This is a full sheet pan dinner of bacon meatloaf and potatoes!
This recipe is dedicated and reminds me of one of my best friends growing up Lori! Anytime I was over her house her mom was always cooking up a beefy delight for dinner. The house always smelled sooooo good. Also, they had the best cookies during the holidays! This is bacon inside and outside. I blend up raw bacon and mix it into the meat for flavor and it keeps the beef juicy. Then wrap ribbons of bacon love all over the top to baste the meatloaf. Sometimes in life you need to be decadent for no reason other than you deserve it! This is an easy decadent dinner just for you!
Gratitude Tip While You Cook:
My mission with Chop Happy is to create easy recipe for busy people with a dash of gratitude! Since we all have to be in the kitchen at some point in our day lets use that time to zen out and gain more gratitude.
For the time the meatloaf cooks visualize your dreams as if it is already here. Working on you does not have to be a long drawn out process. It can be as simple as a couple of pages of a motivational book. The perfect book to read to learn more about finding calmness, your dreams and making your wishes a reality is The Secret!
Recipe Hack / Cooking Tips:
- Make Ahead: I prepare everything and then put the sheet pan in the fridge overnight. The next day I leave out for hour so meat comes to room temp (so meatloaf cooks evenly) and the place in the oven!
- Gratitude While Stirring: Use the kitchen as a place for self care. As you stir or chop say what you are grateful for. I do this all the time so that cooking can be a time to recharge.
