I talk a lot about comfort food, but I can't help it! Nothing's better to me than having a meal that makes me feel warm inside when I've had a trying day. Today was that kind of day! I spent the majority of it sending emails back and forth when a meeting is really the better solution but oh well! I'll roll with the punches so tonite, a meatloaf is in order. Hubby's day today was pretty stressful too and he works many more hours than I do. I like for him to be full and sleep good because sometimes he pulls all nighters! Don't know how he does it...anyway, I thought of meatloaf because it's one of those dishes my mom liked to fix every once in awhile. I grew up not being too crazy about them until I began to cook it myself and now I get to control what ingredients I like, what control! Got love it right? So to plate it up, I opt for mashed potatoes both of which take me to a comfortable couch with a big flannel blanket and my TV on an old Bette Davis movie! Or cuddle up beside my honey and watch a swashbuckler movie since that's hubby's favorite types of movies and this month is dedicated to him! Ok...I can do that!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2/3 c. milk
3 slices bread
1/2 c. chopped onion
4 oz. of shredded cheese
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. of black pepper
1-1/2 lean ground beef
Beat eggs. Add milk and bread and let stand until bread absorbs liquid. Stir in onion and cheese. Add ground beef. Mix well. Shape into a loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve with piping hot mashed potatoes.
If you want to make a topping for the meatloaf:
1/2 c. tomato sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. mustard
Preparation:
Combine topping and spoon over meatloaf after about 30 minutes. Spoon topping over meatloaf every 10-15 minutes while meatloaf is cooking.
