Beef and Bacon Birthday Cake *
You’ll need:
• 5 slices bacon • 1 pound ground beef • 1 pound ground pork • 1 cup cooked barley • 2 large carrots, peeled and grated • ½ cup chopped parsley • 1 egg • Salt For the frosting: • 1 slice of roasted beet – from salad bar, or roasted yourself** • Splash of water • 8 ounces cream cheese What to do: 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 2. Place bacon onto a baking pan and cook for 12 minutes or until crispy. Remove and allow bacon to cool; once cool, crumble into tiny pieces. 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients with half of the crumbled bacon. Form into a heart-shaped meat loaf and bake for 45 minutes. 4. For the frosting, combine the beet and water in a food processor and purée; add the cream cheese and process until mixture is pink and smooth. 5. Place frosting into a piping bag to personalize your message. Sprinkle the remaining bacon crumbles on top as you would sprinkles or jimmies. Additional Tip: ** To roast your own beets, preheat the oven to 400ºF. Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut beets in quarters. Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes.Happy Dog Birthday, Furry Friend!
