Recipe by Courtney Anderson

Ingredients

1 package Pine View Farms Ground beef

1 package Pine View Farms Bacon

1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar reduction (or regular)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 Egg 1/2-1 tsp salt

1 tsp steak spice


Topping:

9-10 pitted Medjool Dates

1 small onion

2 garlic cloves

1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar reduction

Leftover bacon slices (about 2-3)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. In a large bowl add egg, oats, balsamic reduction, seasonings and ground beef, mix until combined.
  2.  Using 9-10 slices of bacon, line muffin cups with one slice of bacon by making a circle around the edge of each cup with a slice of bacon (makes 9-10 muffin cups).  Using 1/3 cup measure, scoop ground beef mixture into the center of each cup and press firmly.   Continue until each cup is filled.
  3.  Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes.
  4. For the topping: While meatloaf is in the oven, dice leftover bacon into small pieces. In a large pan on medium heat' add diced bacon and sear for 2 minutes, add diced onion and garlic and sauté until garlic is golden. Add in diced dates and balsamic reduction and simmer for a couple minutes. Remove meatloaves from the pan and add topping. Drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar reduction as desired.
