Turkey Meatloaf Stuffed With Mac and Cheese

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl add ground turkey, egg, onion and garlic powder and bread crumbs. Mix well but do not over work.

In a 6 well cup-cake pan criss-cross 2 slices of bacon in each well, with the ends hanging over outside the well.

Divide the turkey mixture into 6 portions. Flatten each portion into a patty. Place a spoon of man and cheese in the center of each patty. Shape the patty around the mac and cheese. Make sure the mac and cheese is sealed inside so all the cheesy goodness stays inside! Place each stuffed meat loaf into the cupcake well. Fold the exposed ends of the bacon over each meat-loaf.

Bake uncovered on a cookie sheet for 35-45 minutes. I put a slice of cheese over each meatloaf and melt it before serving. You can also make a glaze of equal parts ketchup, mustard and brown sugar and brush each meatloaf with the glaze and bake.

cook's notes

They are yummy! Brings back memories of my childhood! I made these one night because it just sounded good and because I had mac and cheese leftovers! I froze the leftovers and had ready made mini meat loafs ready to go at moments notice!
