Au Gratin potatoes for tomorrow.  They did not come out as pretty as I hoped.

I have never had nor made a bacon wrapped meatloaf.  To me it was a clash of two great tastes that really don't go together in this configuration (I will eat a Bacon Cheeseburger, but wont go out of my way to order one).  But, as a person trying to over come...contempt before investigation...I thought I would try one.

[Bentley]

It is not bad.  To me it does not enhance the meatloaf enough for me to do it again.  I will have to see how I feel about it after the 1st sandwich!

I will say that the thin bacon is great for applications like this.  It cooks fast and evenly!

I agree with you on the bacon.
I've never really enjoyed anything bacon wrapped.
I like my bacon crispy and it never gets to the right texture for me.

I, too, like my bacon crispier than it usually gets when it's a wrap.  So I precook it in the microwave.  Sometimes I hit the sweet spot.  Sometimes it's still a little too floppy.

I will say the bacon holds the loaf together great for slicing!

Grandson is home on leave from the Army and wanted Grandpa’s ribs. Not your normal Christmas meal but more than happy to cook them for him.

Ribs are on the Memphis Pro at 270

Home brew, from scratch, BBQ sauce is simmering on the stove.

Rub is from scratch too:
4 teaspoons paprika (used Smoked Paprika for added flavor)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
(Double the recipe for 3 ribs)

My brother and SIL are visiting their daughter/family in Utah.  Today my wife and I will go to a local diner for Christmas dinner.   I cooked way to much at Thanksgiving for just us two.  I will smoke a brisket on Friday to take to my B/SIL/Niece-family for our family Christmas on Saturday.

Sauce recipe:
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 yellow mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon Louisiana Hot Sauce
Mix the above and then add:
2 cups of ketchup
Simmer for at least an hour

And “bacon wrapped anything” is always good!

Was hoping others might post some cooks.  Thanks!

We on the west coast still have time.

We are doing pizzas on my Daniel Boone.

Somewhere before then I need to cook a swordfish steak and lobster for my wife (on the Weber Q2200).

Waiting for my son who is a zoo keeper. You have to care for the animals, even on Christmas.

The ribs after I took them off.
