More quick tips for meals.
Okay quickie tip.
Love meatloaf?
2 lbs of ground meat
1 pkg herbed stuffing, smash it into crumbs, be sure to poke a hole in the bag first, or you will be vacuuming crumbs for a year.
2 eggs, whipped like scrambled eggs
add other goodies if you like, minced onion (or onion dip pkg, dry), shredded carrot, 1/2 cup applesauce, what ever you love, green pepper etc...
mix well, use your hands, works better and more fun.
make one big loaf or several small ones, (you can throw them in the freezer for quick meals later after baking. You can put a strip of bacon on top, 1/2 strip on little ones, 2 or 3 on one big loaf.
Bake in 350 degree oven for one hour (big one loaf) or 45 min for little ones or meatballs.
OR you can put them in your slow cooker, set the potatoes on top, and you have a meal fit for a KING or QUEEN.... If you put the potatoes on the bottom, the grease from the meatloaf will flavor the taters and your meatloaf will have less grease... just sayin'.
You can even make them into meatballs, bake, freeze and all ya gotta do is thaw or throw in crock pot frozen with a big can (jar) of your fav sauce, put on low, dinner is ready when you get home. Just spend 20 minutes making pasta or grab a loaf of italian on the way home, and you will have a monster meatball sub for dinner, remember to have salad also!
For the best baked potatoes:
wash well, (rub their little brown bodies with oil to keep skins soft) put in crockpot (slow cooker) slow for all day (if you are going to work) or high if you are home and can check on them after a few hours.
DO NOT ADD WATER
Omg soft, and perfect for meatloaf dinner. You can do the same thing with sweet potatoes... yummy
