I think you should make two loaves… It’s so delicious, it’ll be gone in a heartbeat!

What every family needs is a good meatloaf recipe, and this one is the best I’ve found so far. I’m saying “so far” because I’ll probably keep trying new ones for as long as I live.

It’s not that I don’t think this is good enough – in fact, it’s just the opposite. I think this meatloaf is so tasty that it’s going to be hard, if not impossible, to top this. But that’s exactly why I occasionally search for new recipes. If I get lucky, some day I’m going to end up with another one that is even more delicious!

That’s exactly what happened to me with this recipe. I had made plenty of meatloaves before; I love the stuffed ones, and also the mini meatloaves (those are the kids’ favorite) but as soon as I realized you could cover your whole meatloaf with bacon, I knew it was going to be awesome.

You can choose turkey bacon if you want to make this a bit leaner – but personally I think you should always go for the real thing! Choose your favorite brand or try special flavors each time.

Quick Tip: Instead of making one big meatloaf, make several smaller ones and wrap them in bacon. Adjust the baking time accordingly!

Oh, my, gosh. This stuff is amazing!!

The other day I was having a conversation with my friend about food. We discussed the difference between “kids’ food” and “adults’ food”.

Now, you may say that food is food, no matter what your age, but there are certain meals that kids in general don’t like. For example, my kids don’t like anything too hot and spicy, or a medium-rare steak. But then my friend suggested that there are meals that are meant for kids alone, and they are not “a real dinner” you can serve to adults.

I gave her a weird look and asked her to give me an example. You know what she said? Mac and cheese! I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to say for a moment! Mac and cheese is one of my favorites and I certainly make it for dinner all the time. But she seemed to think the dish is a bit childish – which made me want to prove her wrong.

Right then and there I started making this incredibly yummy mac and cheese that is not at all like the box stuff you get from the store.

Quick Tip: Do not use pre-shredded cheese for this – the flavor is much better if you shred the cheese yourself.

Keep the fun going all night long with this tasty fried ravioli appetizer! It may sound complicated, but you aren’t actually making ravioli from scratch. Simply purchase the store-bought frozen variety, bread them, and fry them up!

Sprinkle with parmesan and serve with your choice of dip. I’d recommend marinara as a first option! Try experimenting with different types of ravioli as well – like spinach and cheese, or even a meat filling. This recipe makes 24 cheese ravioli, but feel free to make a double batch – why not?!

Switch up using ground beef in your meatballs and try hot Italian sausage for a flavorful and spicy meat you will love. These easy sausage meatball subs are perfect for a quick weeknight meal that is different from your ordinary meatball subs.

This recipe calls to melt the cheese on the bread before loading up the meatballs but feel free to melt some extra provolone, mozzarella, or other favorite cheese on top. Serve this up with some chips on the side and enjoy!
