Pork Chops Stuffed With Gouda and Bacon

In honor of WHO changing the name of Swine Flue to it's technical scientific name, H1N1 influenza A, (in order to stop damaging the pork industry - full article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/un_who_swine_flu), I thought I'd post a pork recipe.

One of my best friends, Darla had this recipe published so if you have questions about it, post them here as I have not made this recipe:

Chiliquilla

This is a really good and quick recipe to make. I found it here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chiliquilla/Detail.aspx.

I modify it to my taste though. I use a whole pound or so of lean ground beef. I also use 4-6 eggs, depending on the amount of meat, the size of the eggs, and my mood. :)

I also like to use the package mix of enchilada sauce instead of canned. I add more than 3/4 of a cup since I use more meat and eggs.

Just modify it to your preference. It's really good!

Family Classic Meatloaf

I am not a big fan of meatloaf but this recipe I found on Yahoo Food sounded different so I gave it a try: http://food.yahoo.com/recipes/kraft/90487/family-classic-meatloaf.

I altered the recipe a bit, however. I use one package of ground beef, (about a pound), and one package of ground turkey. I get very little grease this way and it's still very tender.

I also don't divide the ingredients, I mix them all together. I prefer brown gravy with my meatloaf anyway, (I usually make homemade mashed potatoes too), I don't like real tomatoey, (yes, that's a word because I just said so), tasting meatloaf or sauce.
