Cowboy Meatloaf

In my never ending quest to make dinner that is appealing to toddlers, I found a recipe called Cowboy Meatloaf on allyou.com that sounded pretty good to me so I gave it a shot the other night. While my girls weren't the biggest fans of it (because they are weird and don't like mashed potatoes), my husband and I enjoyed it. I especially loved that I made it even easier than the original recipe by using my Party Time Mixes instead of chopping an onion and dealing with burning eyes the rest of the night!

Simple ingredients:

Easy potato prep!

Nothing left but to enjoy! 

                                                           
















Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
I packet Onion & Bacon dip
1 package Ore-Ida steam n' mash russet potatoes
1/3 c bread crumbs
1/4 c bbq sauce
1 egg lightly beaten
2/3 c milk
2 Tbsp butter
2/3 c Mexican blend cheese
1 c crumbled bacon

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Combine egg, bread crumbs, bbq sauce and Onion & Bacon Dip in a bowl.
3. Once combined added in ground beef and mix well
4. Line a 9x9 pan with the beef mixture and cook for 20-25 minutes or until beef is done.
5. While beef is cooking follow package direction to prepare the potatoes
6. Drain any excess grease from the beef and then cover with potatoes, cheese and bacon.
7. Set oven to broil
8. Return pan to oven and broil about 3-5 minutes or until cheese has browned slightly.

This made quite a bit for us so my husband has leftovers for a few days! You can add extra bbq sauce when you serve this if you prefer. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as we did!
