Super Moist Meat Loaf

-
This meat loaf is so delicious and moist. The bacon just makes it even better!
You will need:
2 1/2 lbs. of ground beef
1/2 lb. of chopped bacon, cooked until crisp and cooled
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/3 cup of ketchup
2 Tbs. of mustard
1 Tbs. of worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. of salt
1 tsp. of ground black pepper
1/3 cup of chopped scallions
2 Tbs. of chopped parsley
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup of shredded monterey jack cheese
6 slices of white bread, divided
3/4 cup of milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, add the ground beef and the rest of the ingredients listed except for the sliced bread and milk. Mix the ground beef mixture, just until all combined. Place 4 slices of bread into the milk and remove and squeeze out the excess milk. Tear into pieces and add to the beef mixture. This is what makes the meat loaf so moist. I am sure that the bacon helps with that also, lol! Place the other 2 slices of bread at the bottom of a 11x8 inch baking dish. This will help soak up excess fat rendered from the meat loaf in the oven.

Form the beef mixture into a loaf and place on top of the slices of bread.
Bake in the oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink in the middle. Let the meat loaf rest for about 10- 15 minutes before slicing.You don't want all that wonderful juice to run out of the meat loaf. Hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I do.

    I adore any kind of quiche. I know that lots of women say that men don't like quiches. I promise you that this quiche is hardy enough for a man, LOL! This quiche is not made with a pie crust. I use hash brown patties for the crust and there's a whole lot of linguica and cheese in it also. Try it and you will not regret it! Here we go! Ingredients: 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil 2 cups of chopped linguica 1/2 of a medium sized onion, chopped 7 frozen hash brown patties, thawed 8 eggs 1 cup of milk 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Portuguese Baked Beans/ Feijao Assado

This dish is a portuguese traditional dish. This recipe is usually made with dry beans but,  I use the canned beans because it is much quicker to make this way. I love to eat this over a white rice but, my favorite way is to have it as a sandwich in a portuguese pop. My mom always made sandwiches with these beans for my dad and herself to bring for lunch. It is an inexpensive dish and is absolutely delicious. You will need: 2 Tbs. of extra virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 Tbs. of portuguese paprika 1 lb. of linguicia or chourico, chopped with casing removed 1/2 of a package of smoked bacon, chopped (about 1 cup) 4 (15.5 oz.) cans of cannellini beans 3/4 cup of good red wine Salt and Pepper to taste 1/4 cup of chopped parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Then, add onion, paprika, linguica and bacon. Let these ingredients cook until the onions are translucent and the linguica is a bit
