Mediterranean Mini Meatloaves

I have been trying for months to create the perfect meatloaf because I have never been a fan of meatloaf. Here is the best meatloaf recipe ever created!

1 1/2 lbs. of lean ground beef

1 egg

1/2 cup of garlic herb bread crumbs

2 Tbsp of worchestershire sauce

2 Tbsp of sun dried tomato vinegarette

1/3 cup of sundried tomatoes chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

5-6 oz. of fresh baby spinach

2 cups of feta cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Set oven to 350 degrees F.

Put spinach in the microwave in a sealed ziplock bag for about 45 seconds or until wilted.

Put all of your ingredients(except the feta) into a bowl and mash them together until they are all very well combined. Then get a regular muffin tin and place large equal-sized balls of your meat mixture in each cup. Shape your meat into little cup/bowl shapes. Fill each one with some feta. Then push the tops of the little cups inward. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Ground Turkey version:

Add about 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta

1 Jar of Cheesy Ragu sauce

1 lb. of ground beef

1 small onion chopped or 1/2 of green onion chopped

10 slices of bacon chopped(precooked for quick and easy version)

2 c. of rotini pasta(uncooked)

Quick and Easy version:

Boil pasta. Brown and drain your ground beef. Turn heat down to medium. Add 10 slices of chopped bacon to skillet with ground beef. Add cheese sauce and green onions. Heat sauce through then add drained pasta and mix together. Cook for about 5 more minutes. Serve!

Longer, but more tasty version:

Boil pasta. Cook up bacon and set aside. Brown hamburger, drain and set aside. On medium heat, cook up onion for about 7 min. Add bacon(chopped) and hamburger to onions. Cook to combine flavors. Add cheese sauce and cook until heated through. Drain pasta and stir into skillet. Cook about 5 more minutes. Serve! Yay!
