Tonight for dinner I made meatloaf...per my daughter's request. She NEVER wanted meatloaf when she lived at home, but now she asks for it! This is the recipe that I have used forever...but for the last couple of years I've used turkey burger. You honestly cannot tell. My daughter's friend had dinner with us tonight and she was shocked when I told her that it was made with turkey! So, here's the recipe:
1 lb. turkey burger
1 green pepper finely chopped
1 red onion finely chopped
1 c. oats
1 egg
1 c. milk
Salt and pepper
Mix together by hand and shape into 2 loaf shapes on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. I leave one loaf plain so my hubby can put gravy over his and on the other one I put my "special sauce"...which is ketchup, mustard and brown sugar mixed together. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr and 10 minutes.
We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and biscuits. Unless I have tons of time, (which I usually don't) I just use the OreIda Steamers...they are good and FAST! I like the fresh green beans that you steam in the bag and add butter, salt and pepper. The biscuits were frozen too!
There is no picture for tonight's dinner because they were digging in before I could stop them!!!
For dessert, we had Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a 9X13 pan, add 2/3 c. packed brown sugar and place your pineapples and cherries in the pan. I use a yellow cake mix...follow the directions on the box, but substitute the water with the pineapple juice from the can. Pour into cake pan on top of pineapples and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. YUMMY!!!
Good thing I am running tomorrow - I am STUFFED!!! Well time to eat 'n run!
