So Tony and I went back and forth with over fried chicken recipes, and we finally decided to go with a Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. The secret to that recipe was soaking the chicken in buttermilk. So I bought some on the way home and we are going to marinate the chicken and have it tomorrow night. Should be good!
So on to Plan B! Have you ever watched Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? While I don’t think we have seen anything healthy on that show, there are just some things that we just have to recreate. Tonights dinner was one of them!
Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 8 ounces ground veal
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 7 pieces of bacon
- salt
- pepper
- splash of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Mix everything but the bacon together. Lay the bacon slices side by side on a piece of parchment paper – use the parchment paper to wrap the meatloaf in bacon.
After 30 minutes I removed the parchment paper and cooked for an additional 30 minutes so that the bacon crisped up.
My plate with 1/2 cup mashed potatoes and green beans:
Even Hannah ate some!

Now that’s money right there! Great meatloaf! I do watch DDD and love some of the crazy concoctions people come up with. I watched it last night to and we went to Doumars once but it was Sunday and they are closed on Sundays- bummer. Next time! That Guy is a crack up. Next time deep fry the loaf- HA!
I love meatloaf and bacon, put them together and I’m sure they absolutely delish.
Great dinner!
Ohh look at that bacon-y goodness! I think I might have to try this out! Definitely anticipating the fried chicken too!
oh goodness, that is absolute bacon heaven! bacon makes anything amazing!
can’t wait to see how the fried chicken turns out, too. have a lovely tuesday!
yum – that looks great!
Did you watch Diners, Drive Ins, Dives last night? There was a drive in place I LOVE on there! Doumar’s is just a few minutes from where I grew up. It was so cool seeing it on there 🙂
Yep – we watched it last night – those ice cream cones LOOKED AMAZING!
I love bacon wrapped anything!
I can’t wait to see the recipe for tomorrows lunch!
I saw that episode not too long ago!!! I’m definitely going to make this next week. No doubt.
Oh my goodness, that is amazing. The closest thing I’ve had to that was bacon wrapped roundsteaks. Yum!
It might not be the healthiest, but it sure looks tasty 😀 Did you see the Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives episode where the place makes a bacon burger? As in a whole patty made of bacon? Covered in cheese? Now that was one unhealthy meal!
I haven’t seen that episode – but did you see the one where they made deep fat fried potato salad? It was like having hashbrowns in your potato salad!
ha it must be great if hannah ate meat! I love that show, the places look so down-home and fun! I wonder if you can hunt down those KFC “top secret herbs and spices” 😀 ha I saw on the news one time, they were transporting them in a metal suitcase under lock and key with a freakin bodyguard!?!
Baconlicious!!
