APPLE-BACON MINI LOAVES
I came up with this recipe for a tailgate party at a University of Tennessee football game. The school colors are orange and white, so the cheddar cheese was just the right touch. -Jay Davis, Knoxville, Tennessee

BACON APPLES
I cooked apples that I stuffed with brown sugar and cinnamon over a campfire as a dessert for my family when we went camping. In the morning we had bacon with our breakfasts and the kids marinated the bacon in the leftover apples! The bacon was good but we ate the apples after and they where surprisingly good!

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix the meat with onion, garlic, ground black pepper, taco seasoning mix, ketchup, Worcestershire and beaten eggs.
- Add bread crumbs and mix well. (You will need to use your hands and knead it up well). Roll the meat into 12 mini-loaves that fit into your mini-loaves baking pan, (or use a shallow baking tray with a rack to drain the grease from the bacon).
- MY NOTE: I partially cooked the bacon slices separately in a skillet and drained all the excess of fat, (or add the bacon cut in pieces into the meat, if you prefer).
- Bake the mini loaves in a 350ºF. pre-heated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes until they are well cooked from the center and bacon slices look crispy and attached around the loaves.
- Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, if like.
- Note: Chris says: "It is sort of like a tiny self contained bacon burger".
- And thanks to the reviewers for their good suggestions to improve this recipe.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a firm, tart apple that holds its shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the loaf pan: Leave some space between the apples and the bacon so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the loaves until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 35-40 minutes.
- Let the loaves cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Apple bacon mini loaves are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat. They're perfect for a party or potluck, and they're also a great way to use up leftover apples and bacon. With their sweet and savory flavors, these loaves are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
