Low Carb Cheeseburger Meatloaf is flavored with all the fixings that would be in a juicy burger like bacon, onion, and sharp cheddar cheese.  You won’t miss the bun!

It’s SUMMER and I’ve been in vacation mode for weeks, which is why I’m behind in sharing recipes with you all!

I actually did take a week off of work and spent about 5 days in Arizona.  It was my first time to check out the Grand Canyon National Park.  Why did I wait so long to see a such an amazing scenic destination?

We also spent some time with my in-laws.  That visit wasn’t nearly long enough, but we are grateful to see that my mother-in-law is slowly bouncing back from some health issues that she has been dealing with.

We had no doubt that the temperatures in Arizona would be higher than we’re used to, but who willingly leaves the beach for a 122 degree record breaking heat wave?  –> We DO!

We whined about the heat, but that didn’t stop us from exploring the mountains and enjoying the splendor of the Grand Canyon trails.  The views were spectacular, and I’m not sure what time of year is the best time to go hiking in Arizona, but I want to go back and tackle it again!

Besides hitting the outdoors we also stumbled into some great restaurants.  I think my favorite was the Italian food we ate at Cucina Rustica in Sedona.  The atmosphere was lovely and the food was delicious!  I had a fish special and Alan tried the Cioppino over pasta.

We also went to Oak Creek Brewery and Grill where we sampled the local beer.  I’m not a big beer drinker, but sure enjoyed the blend that was enhanced with a hint of vanilla!

As fun as it is to try different foods and drinks while on vacation as soon as the suitcases are put away, I look forward to getting back to our routines and cooking at home!

This Low Carb Cheeseburger Meatloaf, the mother of all comfort food is just the meal to dive into after being on vacation!

I divided the meat mixture into a 8 x 4 loaf pan and two mini 2 x 4 loaf pans.  The mini loaves cooked cooked in about 25 minutes, so dinner was complete in no time!

Serve with a Garden Salad or Wedge Salad for a super simple delicious meal!
