Cheddar Cheese & Bacon Baked Potato

I am an absolute potato lover and love anything potato. Just made the Mini Meatloaves and hadn't got a clue what to have as a side dish besides the usual steam vege. I wanted something additional and there came this Bake Potato idea.

Rummaged through the web for a Bake Potato recipe and added a little of my own.......

Ingredients:-

• 4 medium baking potato
• 2 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons butter
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 slices bacon (fried and cut to bits)

 
1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Scrub the potato, and pierce the skin several times with a knife or fork. Rub the skin with olive oil, then with salt.

2. Place the potato in the preheated oven, and bake for 90 minutes, or until slightly soft and golden brown. Slice the potato down the center, and serve with butter and black pepper. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top and bacon bits.

So, if you are a potato fan and are thinking to have a different type of potato for a meal or add something different, go make some bake potatoes.....

Mini Meatloaves

I made a meatloaf 2 or 3 Christmas ago and it was yummy and made it a couple of times more for parties and other get-togethers; and have left it on the back burner for some time now and in those days, I didn't even bother to take a picture of it.

Came acorss this really easy recipe to make Mini Meatloaves. Hhhhmmmm....interesting and easy enough compared to the last meatloaf I made which nearly drove me to insanity because it required so many darn things! Hahahahahhahahahahaha..............

  Ingredients:-

• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 450g ground beef
• 2/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2.In a large bowl, combine the egg, milk, cheese, oats and salt. Add the ground beef, mixing well, and form this mixture into eight miniature meatloaves. Place these in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

3.In a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Stir thoroughly and spread over each meatloaf.

4.Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes.


So, go ahead and give it a shot. Have some steam vege and a bake potato to top it off....absolutely yummilicious!!! Even if I have to say so myself!
