Aw, Mom meatballs again????

I learned at a very young age that if you rename food it will be eaten.  My brother was always the picky eater.  He hated lots of thing but especially onions.  My mom would cook onions and tell him that they were ooyons.  Down the hatch they went. YUM!!

My husband hates turkey but he loves pork burgers.  I buy Jennie O turkey patties, take them out of the box and put them in a zip lock bag.  Instant pork burgers.  He loves them.

Well, my youngest daughter hates meatloaf.  It does not pass her lips. Meatloaf  makes me cringe but the hubby loves it, so after 24 years I broke down and made some.

I got the recipe from watching Ree Drummond on the Food Channel.  She made a meatloaf wrapped in bacon and then sauced it.  She claimed that everyone always liked it.  Okay, Maybe?  I will give this baby a try.  Yelp, she was correct.  Everyone at the dinner table loved it. 

 I made the recipe but I made them into large meatballs, wrapped them with bacon and put her magical sauce (left out the hot stuff) on it.  Baked them for 40 minutes added more sauce and then cooked them for 20 more minutes on 400 degrees to make sure the bacon was done.

Ate them with corn on  the cob and fresh fruit salad.  So good!

Eating leftovers tonight.  This is a definite make again food.
