Smoky Bacon BBQ Pork Mini Meatloaves with Mashed Potato Topping
Ingredienser
- 1 pound ground pork
- 6 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, divided
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
fremgangsmåte
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, half the crumbled bacon, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, smoked paprika, half the BBQ sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until evenly blended.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Brush the tops with the remaining BBQ sauce and bake for 5 more minutes.
- While the meatloaves bake, boil the potatoes in a saucepan until tender. Drain, then mash with the milk, butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes over each meatloaf. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon and return to the oven under the broiler for 2 minutes to lightly brown the topping.

Use a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off to pipe the mashed potatoes neatly if you want a tidy look. Leftovers reheat best in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the potato topping from drying out. If the BBQ sauce is very sweet, add an extra pinch of smoked paprika to the meat mixture for balance.
