Meatloaf My Way
I’m a total sucker for Meatloaf. It has so many things that I truly adore, beef, vegetables and dare I say - ketchup! It’s the perfect family meal ready in under an hour.
Ingredients:
1 Pound ground Beef
2 Garlic Cloves, minced *I usually do 3-4
1 Large Egg
¼ Cup Dried Breadcrumbs
2 Celery Stalks, diced
½ large White Onion, diced
7-8 Baby Carrots, diced
Worcestershire Sauce to taste (I generally use about 1 ½ Tablespoons)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Ketchup
Preparation:
First preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and blend together. Just like with meatballs, the best tools you have are your hands - God gave ‘em to you, so use ‘em! I used to just take a Pyrex dish and shape my meatloaf, but on a recent goodwill trip I found the cutest ceramic bread pan for a super low price and I must say, it was worth every penny!!
Either way you choose, place the assembled Loaf into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After that add the Ketchup and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Don’t stray too far – if your Ketchup begins to burn, tent the Loaf with foil.
Can you say heaven on a plate? Plus, I think meatloaf tastes even better the next day. This truly is the ultimate comfort food.
Dilled Carrots
My mouth waters just at the mere mention of these carrots! 4 ingredients and you’ve got a perfect compliment to any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pound Baby Carrots, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Dill
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
Add water to you steamer pan and heat until boiling. Place the chopped Carrots in the steamer and cover. Cook them until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Next Drain the water out of the pan and add the Carrots and the Butter to it. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, until all the Butter is melted. Lastly add the Dill and Salt.
That’s it. They’re too good for words!
