B & T Meatloaf

Bacon and Tomato Meatloaf 

One of my favorite go to meals is...meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas, I mean... who doesn't love that.. right???  Today I wanted to incorporate some of my favorite ingredients in my meatloaf which are bacon, sun dried tomatoes and cheese.  Instead of wrapping raw bacon on the top like you see in most recipes, I pre-cooked it, chopped it up and mixed it inside.  The outcome was amazing!  Crunchy bacon, tangy bites of sun dried tomatoes and melted cheese in every bite.  

Seriously... you've got to try this!
