We had the best meat loaf the other night for dinner! It was so good that I have been having meat loaf sandwiches now for two day. Wanted to share it with you, I hope you will love it too!GLAZED BACON WRAPPED MEAT LOAF
Mix all of this together:
1 1/2-2 lbs. hamburger
1/2 c. cracker crumbs
2 beaten eggs
1 (8oz.) can tomato sauce
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
Mix and shape into a loaf, lay it
onto a Pam sprayed broiler pan.
This way, as it cooks, the grease
drains away from the meat and it's
not being baked in grease!
Lay thick sliced bacon over the top
of it, tucking the ends under the loaf.

Now, prepare your sauce.SAUCE
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 T. dry mustard
1 tsp. tomato paste
2 T. water
Mix this together and then
brush it over the top of the
bacon on the meat loaf.
Bake it at 350' for...1 hour and 15 minutes.Look how beautiful it is when it's baked, YUM
all crusty and sugary glazed and not sitting
in a pool of grease, so much more healthy this way.
I had my daughter and her kids for dinner that night and her daughter said; Grandma, does this have brown sugar in it?" I told her it did in the sauce and she laughed and said; yup, Mom said that you put brown sugar in everything you bake!" And I do love my brown sugar...it is always my secret ingredient!
We also had a delicious chocolate cream pie! The recipe for that you will find as you scroll down a couple of past posts...it is so yummy!
Whenever I am in the kitchen cooking, I have a couple of helpers.Our dog Cougar and his kitty. He has a couple of little buddies like this one...Bobby and Sammy. They all sleep together, the kitties curl up under Cougars chin and tummy or on top of him. They all wander the property together...such sweet friends. Every Golden we have had has been just like that..they are the best!
And then there are these two little house puppies!They are always standing guard watching over the sheep way out in the field. Watching to see if Cougar comes peeking in the windows, making sure to reprimand him for that! Naughty little butts!
Yes Zak is spoiled...
And so is Mr. Bo Jangles...
Who me?! Yes you!But we all go for our 4 mile walk each day and we all love that!
I guess Spring is on her way...our grand daughter MaKayla getting ready for soccer.
And me... with Easter egg colored toe nails...waiting for some nice Spring green grass to walk through. They say... "Spring is when you have winter slush in your boots but a whistle on your lips." Well, I am hoping... and I only paint my toe nails when I am ready for my flip flops and Spring and Summer...hoping still, even though the wind is wild and there was snow on theground this morning!
TO YOU MY FRIENDS
I'd like to be the kind of friend that you have been to me;
I'd like to be the special help that you've been glad to be.
I know I'm blessed for only God can make friends like you;
You know just how to cheer me up whenever I feel blue.
Could I but have one wish fulfilled, this is what it would be~
I'd like to be the kind of friend that you always are to me.
Have a wonderful week and weekend my friends...I send you all
wishes and prayers for peace and joy and love... to fill up your life.

If that meat loaf is the best you have ever had then it must be stupendous! Will try it tomorrow,I have just stocked up on my brown onion soup and brown sugar! Your blue toes are so funny! I am always too lazy to paint my nails...maybe I should shock my husband....
Hi there Julie, I have to say that meatloaf looks mighty tasty. I will have to try this one out. You have so many tasty wonderful recipes. I am getting tired of the same old stuff! Hope spring finds you soon!
Yep, that first toenail painting means spring is on the way! Your blue nails look so cute!
That meatloaf looks so yummy...I'm going to try this! I think the leftovers on sandwiches is the best part of making a meatloaf! Mmmm!
That meat loaf recipe looks delicious! I'm not a big meat loaf fan, but hubby sure is. Maybe I'll surprise him by making it one day soon. Bacon and brown sugar: what could be better!
Love those toe nails! I see the tiny daisies! I was so excited to purchase a coupon for $20 for both a manicure and pedicure. I never get a manicure because they simply don't last on my busy hands. But a pedicure is one of my delights!
Not warm enough here to walk barefoot in the grass and even a tad chilly going without socks in the house but I want to enjoy my toenails!
Very sweet friendship poem!
A sweet joy visiting with you!
Meatloaf happens to be one of my favorite meals. I definitely will have to try this recipe out. AND, my favorite pie is chocolate cream. Your post today sure made my hungry! Everything looks delicious. :0)
Have a wonderful weekend!
I tend to have to keep draining the grease out of the baking dish when I make meat loaf so now I will do it on the broiler pan like you do! Thanks for such a good recipe and a healthier way of cooking it!
Loved all the pictures of your furry kids. Aren't they wonderful?! I don't know what I would do without mine!!!
Oh my goodness, Julie, if I show my "boys" this meatloaf... it will definitely be on the list for things to bake!
Your cake looks wonderful too!
The photos of your pets are making me smile! Thanks for sharing your joys ~ such an amazing thing when they multiply ~ and joy spreads to all
♥ Maria
That meatloaf does look delicious. With the bacon it's gotta be great. Now I'm hungry and I just finished eating...lol
Hope we all get a little more spring time coming our way soon
So sweet...I adore seeing your *helpers* Julie. Pretty toes too.
I hope spring weather arrives for you very soon. Enjoy!
Warmly, ~Melissa :)
What a sweet post! I so understand about spoiled dogs! LOL.
I may try that meatloaf with turkey? Wonder if it will turn out as good as yours! Looks yummy, but I only eat turkey and chicken in small amounts, no red meats.
The cake however looks so delicious!! Thanks for the great recipes!
Blessings,
Jill
P.S. I'm gonna try to put those snowmen away this weekend!!!!LOL
OMG girlfriend.. set me a place at the table......that meat loaf looks awesome.. that is going on my menu for next week.. thanks for sharing the recipe..
ps. I love you colorful toes..
you go girl.. perfect even for spring...
have a great weekend,,
xoxo
I had blue toenail polish on one day in church. It was the kind that goes on purple and goes blue in the sunshine. So I had just gone into RS and the lady next to me nearly went into shock when she saw my blue toes. I don't know whether she thought I was too old for such a thing or what but hey....I kinda liked it. I like trying out new stuff. This was the same lady that told me once that she didn't like my "painted hair". Too funny.
O M G ~ Julie, that meatloaf looks crazy delicious. I am trying that this week!!!!
All of your animal babies are adorable ~ especially Cougar!!!!
Have a happy weekend.
Oh Julie...your meatloaf looks divine! Yum Yum! Love the toenails too! Thanks for the poem!
The broiler idea is such a wonderful tip! I love to make meatloaf and have never thought of cooking it that way. I've made a recipe very similar to yours. My favorite is Paula Deen's recipe but I substitute the tomato sauce for a can of Rotel tomatoes to give it a kick. Sure is tasty! And I use the brown sugar too. People can never quite figure it all out.
Looks like you're getting ready for Spring.
Beautiful poem on friends. You are so sweet! Glad to be one of your friends!
Hugs,
Tammy
Hmmmm, the meat loaf sounds good! I love bacon on or with anything. The pets are adorable...if I lived out somewhere, I'd probably adopt a jillion.
LOVE to have pedicures! I normally use red all the time but I do like to venture out in the summer with different, bright colors. Yours look great! I got a purple and a turquoise that I'm anxious to try.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Pat
Love your little helpers! Your meatloaf looks super delicious! Super cute toes too!
O, I LOVE a good meatloaf. My mama, bless her little heart, could make the best. However, yours is looking mighty good. I will give this a try and be sure to let you know.
Now, dear heart...do you have a good bundt cake recipe for me? I need to take one to fellowship group on Sunday...I took the orange one last time. A strawberry one would be fantastic..got a recipe? or any of your favorites would be much appreciated.:)
xoxo bj
OOO, forgot to say
I WANT BLUE TOENAILS !
I know what I am having for dinner tomorrow night, Julie. This is so funny, I bought my ground beef with a meat loaf in mind, but didn't want to use my recipe, and I come here tonight and find this most delicious looking one. I too use brown sugar in most of my recipes.
The photos of your helpers are super cute. We have just fallen in love with our new dog, Lucy. I especially enjoyed the one with the two cuties looking out for the sheep.
I know you are going to enjoy seeing Mckayla play soccer.
Now Julie lets talk about toes, I am sitting here barefoot comparing your feet to mine, yours look so smooth, please tell me what you use to have them looking so great, also I have been feeling my face so dry lately. Your skin looks flawless, could you tell me what you use.
By the way love the Easter egg color.
Thanks for sharing, as always I do so enjoy my visits.
Thank you for your prayers for Will.
Hugs,
Sue
My husband adores meatloaf and the sandwiches that follow. Thanks for this recipe. Your toe nails look so pretty - folks are already wearing shorts and sandals here in GA. That is a precious poem at the end of your post. I'm grateful for all the lovely folks, like you, that I have met through blogging. Have a nice weekend.
Hi Julie,
Your meatloaf looks delicious! I love the photos of your dogs, they are all so cute. I'm looking forward to spring weather too, we have been having days and days of rain. Have a lovely weekend. :)
Yummy Julie! You always post the best recipes. Brown sugar does make everything taste better, haha!
Hi Julie, Yummy looking meatloaf! I'll be trying out this recipe as meatloaf is one of my favorite meals. Thanks, too, for the tip about baking it on a grill pan. I never thought of that, wonderful idea. Have a great weekend.
That meatloaf looks utterly fabulous Julie! I am going to give it a try!
And you have some adorable doggies there!
Hugs friend,
Cindy
Yumm~ that meatloaf looks so delicious, Miss Julie!! I will definitely give this a try, because meatloaf is my Hubby's favorite.
I love your kitchen helpers~ are they hanging around for a taste test? *grin*
And boy, that is a gorgeous color on your nails~ it's sandal time!!
Julie, that meatloaf looks delicious!! I love bacon and brown sugar! I hope you get to wear your flip-flops soon! Your toes look great, all ready and waiting! Blessings ~ Tanna
Julie, looks like we have much in common. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I do most of my blogging, however on my farm blog.
That meatloaf looks scrumptious...how can you go wrong with bacon and brown sugar????
Have a great day!
Bev

Thanks so much for that great recipe! Tuesday we will have grandson Gavin's birthday dinner here and he has requested meatloaf, really! It was kismet that you posted this! I'm so ready for spring and I just may have to paint my toenails a pretty color too. The pups are on guard, funny little inside ones rule the roost... Our old cocker Ben does too!
Bacon makes everything better :)
Delish looking recipe !
Cute toenails too. How fun to pamper yourself a bit.... hope that warm weather gets here quick and you can show off those toes :)
Hope you have a great week.
This meat loaf is going to get cooked in the immediate future. I think the bacon is a brilliant touch and haven't heard of it before...also the tip of placing the loaf on a broiler pan. Great idea!
That meatloaf looks so yummy...My husband is a big meatloaf fan and I'm sure will love this one. I adore your bright blue toenails....Love them!
I must try your meet loaf! i love the sauce, it must be very good!
Oh MY! That meatloaf looks amazingly delicious!!! I am starving right now too and would die for a meatloaf sandwich!!! I HAVE to try your recipe!
(I just love seeing all of your little pets around the house!)
Julie ~ I just put your meatloaf into my oven! Mmmmm...can't wait for the smell to fill the house!
Hi Julie!
What a meatloaf!!!
Looks fantastic..and I love meatloaf sandwiches too!!
So yummy ..I fry mine and have it on toast.
Mmmmmm good!
Your sweet little furryfriends are adorable...such little helpers :)
And I like the colour of your nail polish..looks like Easter!
Have a great weekend dear filled with love and sunshine!!
Deborah xoxo
OK, now I am craving a meatloaf sandwich, which is the BEST sandwich ever! That meatloaf looks so good.....and BLUE toe nails??? Whoa Ms Julie, you are braver than me. I don't think I have ever had blue toe nails!! You go girl! You do deserve some spring in your life...quick!
Hugs, Ann
What an idea...I think my husband would love that meatloaf!
I love your homestead and set of pets. so sweet that they get along. my german shepherd barks at the cat, and chases her. so bad. But I am loving your property, can't wait to move on to that type of living. And eat meathloaf. My toenails are green--got to love it. But we are having lots of rain.
Thanks for another great recipe. I love your recipes. And, your toes---made me smile. Reminded me of the color of blue eggs in a nest. xoxo
That meat loaf looks fantastic. Every once in awhile I just feel like making meatloaf. That time is approaching I think after seeing this. Thanks and love the aqua pedi! Wishful thinking never hurts!
Just stopping by to tell you that I made that meatloaf yesterday, and it was so delicious, and moist. Thanks for sharing.
Sue
I love me some meatloaf, and I love making it new ways.... I'll try this one soon. What percentage of fat do you get in your ground beef? I always have problems with the fat pooling and not draining in the pan.
Your pups & Kitty are so sweet! I love that the Kitty is BFF with the dog!
Okay, I HAVE to try that recipe for the meatloaf. That does look very yummy (& the pie... I love pie!)
Yes... Im wanting spring to come too!
I use to paint tiny flowers, bugs & things on my daughters (& their friends) toes. Your pretty toes reminded me of those times.
That meatloaf looks amazing. I will have to try this one for sure...
What brand polish is that? I absolutely love the color!
Okay...looks like we are having meatloaf for dinner this week. Hmmm...what day??? (:
Looks like spring is arriving at your house! (:
janet
I think I'll sleep outside with Cougar and the cats. I think I'm already in love with that big old dog of yours. Happy week blogfriend.
The brown sugar must not be a secret ingredient any more. I think you family has caught on to you.
The meat loaf...yummers!
Your toes...10X yummers! They're ready for spring, let's hope the weather gets springy soon!
We love meat loaf around here and this looks like a winning recipe! I will have to make it.
Love the toenails, your feet and your pets awaiting spring time. love it ~
Thanks for sharing such an amazing meatloaf recipe!!! And I love your toes...So fun!!
Oh my, Julie! That meatloaf looks amazing! I love my meatloaf, but I'm thinking I'll have to give yours a try!
Love your sweet pictures of your pets...and your Easter blue toenails! Looks like you're having fun, dear friend!
Julie
I bought a pair of flip-flops this weekend...right after it dumped 6" of snow on us...I'm officially in protest of this prolonged winter! ;)
I need to paint my toe nails too :)
Love the recipes and pets are the best ! So cute :)
Happy Monday and loved your post :)
XOXO
Frenchy
We aren't quite there yet, it's still snowing up here, but I have great hopes now that I see that you've painted your toenails!
How could spring not come to Utah when your feet look so cute????
Great recipe.....
xxoo,
RMW
Julie -- we had snow too -- I like your version of meatloaf better than mine -- I need to make this. Love your robin egg blue toenails! Joni
This is the second meatloaf recipe I have seen here today. The other one was made with cocoa crispies cereal! LOL I saw your comment there and ran over here to see your blog. It looks like one I would like to follow, so I am going to. Have a great one and thanks for sharing.
Barb
I am following you back! We must be kindred spirits, I love to take shots of my painted toenails too, the chocolate pie and whoah, that looks like a killer meat loaf. Too fun.
Obviously you are LDS too. So nice to meet you. We are going to love sharing together!
Just curious.... why is poor Cougar out in the cold. It seems unfair that the other two are in where it is warm and dry and he's out there freezing. Golden Retriever's are house dogs. They need to be near their people. I have one and have had others before they died of old age and they all prefered being indoors.
