Three-in-One Meals

Get Extreme Mac and Cheese Balls with this Meatloaf Bacon Twist

— March 19, 2013 — Lifestyle
For those times when it is difficult to decide between having macaroni and cheese, bacon or meatloaf for dinner, try these intense mac and cheese balls that come built into a meatloaf wrapped in bacon.

Instead of eating each dish separately, they get all rolled into one in this savory concoction that doesn't look very difficult to prepare. Using a muffin tin for shaping, the layers of tender meat, cheesy pasta and sauce get wrapped in delicious strips of bacon and baked all together in the oven. These would be delicious as finger food for any sporting event for the guys with big appetites, or make them as three-course dinner balls.

Never choose between favorite dishes with these all-encompassing mac and cheese balls.
