Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

These tasty little loaves have cheddar cheese mixed into the meat before baking. Wrapping them in bacon not only adds flavor but also keeps them from getting dry while baking.
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
6 slices thin-sliced bacon, cut into halves
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the ground beef, cheese, egg, bread crumbs, onion, water, bell pepper, and beef bouillon granules in a large bowl. Mix well but do not overmix.
Shape the meat into small loaves and place on a broiler pan or on a rack in a shallow baking pan.
Place the bacon slices in a criss-cross pattern over the top of each individual meatloaf, tucking the ends under the loaf.
Bake, uncovered, for 50 minutes or until the meatloaves are cooked through (actual cooking time will depend on the size of the meatloaves).

GOOD RECIPE, TRY 1/2 GR BEEF & GR TURKEY AND TURKEY BACON FOR A LOWER CHOLESTEROL (AND SALT) RECIPE... WE EAT TOO MUCH MEAT IN AMERICA, SO MINI LOAVES ARE A GOOD WAY TO HAVE THE PROPER PORTION CONTROL... TKS.
