MIni Pizza Bites

Oh such a yummy treat that we had at our Saturday night dinner. I seem to love to try little concoctions with dough. Tonight I made mini pizza bites to go along with my loved pepperoni pasta bake. Very simple but pretty damn yummy! 

Just three main ingredients. Dough, this time I used basic biscuit dough, mozzarella cheese & pepperoni.  

Have your foodie child spread the dough.

Once flattened, add cheese & pepperoni. 

Then simply fold the dough over the ingredients & pinch to close. 

Once all the bites are assembled, brush a butter & garlic wash over each one. As you may see, my foodie decided to make one a little different ;) 

Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes & enjoy! 

Bacon Wrapped Mini Meatloaves

Bacon seems to be a huge staple in my recipes as of late and I believe this one may be the best ever.  I stumbled upon a recipe on Kraft.com but as with most of their recipes I changed it up.  My first attempt was a HUGE success! Even my pickiest eaters LOVED it & came back for seconds! 

* About 2-3 pounds of ground beef or chuck 

* Crushed stuffing cubes, about a half a cup

* Italian style bread crumbs, about a quarter cup

* Garlic, salt & pepper

* Mixture of ketchup & Worcestershire sauce

* Two eggs

* Package of bacon 

Mix the meat with all of the above ingredients except for the bacon. Form into a ball, ever so slightly flattening it a bit. Wrap a slice of raw bacon around each mini meatloaf. I placed mine on a rack on a cookie sheet to keep the grease away from the masterpiece. 

I then brushed more of the sauce on each loaf and baked at 375 for about 40 minutes. Simply amazing!
