Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken thawed
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup bacon crumbles
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 cheese sticks
  • 1/2 cup Ranch dressing see below for the best homemade ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella grated

If Making The Best Homemade Ranch:

  • 1 packet Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix or 1 1/2 tablespoons if using this mix from a larger container.
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup Best Food Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Mix buttermilk, mayonnaise and ranch dressing together and refrigerate.

  2. Pre-heat oven to 350°

  3. Line a bread pan with foil and then spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

  4. Cut cheese sticks in half vertically and then cut one cheese stick horizontally as well to fit evenly in the bread pan. Set aside.

  5. Mix ground chicken, oatmeal, eggs, milk, diced onion, bacon crumbles, parsley, minced garlic, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl.

  6. Press half of the meat mixture into the bottom of the bread pan and press in.

  7. Lay the cut up cheese sticks in the middle of the meat mixture and press slightly.

  8. Top cheese sticks with the remaining half of the meat mixture and press in so the cheese sticks stay in the middle.

  9. Pour the half cup of ranch on top of the meatloaf and spread to even out.

  10. Sprinkle the shredded mozzeralla on top of the ranch dressing and bake uncovered at 350° for 60-65 minutes-until cooked through.

  11. Allow time to cool a bit. Lift from pan using the foil. Slice on a cutting board and serve. Enjoy!
