On the way to the range this morning, I ran into a neighbor just coming back from seeing her hubby. Nothing like being stationed 2800 miles apart… She’s here, he’s at McCord…
And since I’m getting ready for another road trip, it’s time to clean out the fridge…
I told her I’d make dinner if she wanted the leftovers, to which she quickly agreed, but first she was going to SLEEP! Redeye flights are NOT good for sleeping, especially in the back of the bus.
What to fix? Hmmm… NOT chicken pot pie…
Got some burgers, got a little pork and some veal, I’m tasting MEATLOAF… 🙂
Dug out the old family recipe and away I went. Found some new potatoes that won’t be any good for long (or as long as I’m going to be gone).
And VOILA…
It may not be pretty, but it IS bacon wrapped, because I could! And the light spot is where the Bay leaf was removed…
And some garlic and parsley new potatoes, and some butterbeans and the last of the French bread and I have a last good meal before the trip starts, AND no leftovers…
I know, the picture is crooked… so sue me… 🙂 But at least the fridge is cleaned out so no ‘science’ experiments when I get home…
And she’s a happy camper, since she’s got food for at least tomorrow and probably lunch for Monday!
You are a man of many talents.
And it didn’t even involve duct tape.
Just tell me you didn’t put chunks of Big Bertha bell peppers in the meatloaf, so that I know the bunkhouse secret meatloaf recipe is safe… Oh… damn!
Opus- Desperation and years of living on my own… what can I say; and no duct tape was NOT involved … LOL
Brighid- Of course I did, OLD family recipe from Louisiana… Pretty much anything not nailed down goes in the pot, er… meatloaf… 🙂
Looks pretty darn tasty!! MMMMmmm . . . . bacon!
The Waffle House has carry-out, too. Treat her to sommun good.
Looks good!
There are few things as good as a meatloaf sandwich with dill pickles and mustard.
CP- True, but we’re too far North for them…
Bob- It was, even if I ‘do’ say so myself! 😀
Jess- Good point!
Trifecta! Good meal, good deed, and the larder in order.
That looks good!
Looks WONDERFUL!!
You ARE still headed south by southwest later in the week, yes? Looking forward to comparing notes on our respective jobs 😉
Also, as a FWIW, I posted links to the 3 local MSM outlets’ weather prognostications – they SHOULD show contemporaneous prognostications for folks heading to Houston next weekend 😉

Now that’s not mom’s ketchup-covered meatloaf. Looks great.
Mighty fine eating.
It’s amazing what one man can do with a pesky neighborhood cat…
Bacon wrapped meatloaf!
You’re my hero!
I came across this pic later in the day and it made me think of your meatloaf:

If you think you have a recipe for leftovers, you should stop by for my gumbo. Gra-ma made a killer one. Ands ask Bobbi or Tam about the red beans! Let me know ahead of time when you’ll be in Indy.
WSF- LOL, one time good deal…
Carteach- It actually tasted pretty good too!
DM- Thanks and thanks…
45er- I never did like Ketchup on meatloaf… 😀
LL- LOL, I know nozzink…
drjim- Thanks!
Opus- LOL, yep that works!
Don- Will do! Love red beans and rice!
Good lookin’ AND he can cook! Who knew?
MRsC- Tank you… tank you… 🙂
Michael wraps the meatloaf in bacon. Awesomeness.
My Mom uses a variation of her BBQ sauce on her meatloaf. But I’m thinking that adding bacon would make it even better. When we were younger she would sometimes add ground lamb; we always had the best meals in the months following the livestock shows.
Jenn- it works!
Poppa- ah yes cheap beef, lamb or whatever after those shows!
