Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Bacon Wrapped Mini Meat Loaves

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

This is a nice twist on a traditional meat loaf.  Mini, or individual sized wrapped with bacon is a family favorite.  Easy to make ahead and you’ve got an easy dinner after a day at work.  Leftovers are tasty for lunch the next day, or freeze extras for smaller households.  Enjoy!



Ingredients

1.5 pound ground beef
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
½ cup Water
1 Egg
1/4 cup diced Onion
1/4 diced Green Pepper
6 slices Bacon, cut into halves



Directions

Mix all ingredients, except bacon.  

Shape mixture into 6 loaves.

Crisscross 2, half-slices Bacon on top of each loaf, tucking ends under each loaf.  



Place loaves on a rack in a shallow baking pan.  Bake uncovers 50 minutes in 350 degree oven.  Broil for 5 minutes at end of baking time (or until Bacon crisps)
