Meatloaf

This is a famous Sunday meal at my house when my kids were little.  It is so comforting especially when paired with the loaded mashed potatoes which can be found in the comfort food pages.  This will leave enough to have that wonderful leftover meatloaf sandwich which is good hot or cold.

Meatloaf

I start with a pound of ground hamburger and a pound of ground pork.  You can use whatever you have or like.  Some options are ground turkey and chicken or any combination of those.

you can use any or all of the ingredients below.  I will add a couple of eggs, peppers, onions, jalapenos, mushrooms, seasoning of any kind and a fair amount of it, you can add a package of ranch or Italian dressing if you like.  A package of onion soup mix will add lots of flavor to any meatloaf.   I will season with Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic, paprika, or anything else that sounds good.   You can use all no salt options if you want.  Then you will need some type of crumbs like crackers, bread crumbs, crushed up chips or pretzels. 

Mix well and put into a loaf pan.  I then mixed together some ketchup, mustard, and some hot sause and spread it over the meatloaf.  You can use whatever sounds good to you.   Bake on 350º for about an hour or until it is 160º internally.

 

Let sit a few minutes and serve.

Fried Chicken

Tuesdays will be flashback dinner night. I will pick a childhood dinner recipe and made into adult form. This is my first recipe. Fried Chicken just like grandma made except it is oven fried which is better for your health.  This chicken had amazing crunch and flavor you should try it.


Fried Chicken

I used drumsticks but any parts of the chicken will be fine.  I seasoned the drumsticks with all kinds of things.  You can use whatever you like.

Pre heat oven at 375 Degrees



I have a container with 2 eggs or 1 Cup of egg substitute, yogurt or sour cream.  All will work to adhere the flour mixture to the chicken.  I will add to the mixture some hot sauce or soy sauce or any other liquid to add extra flavor.

I put together some crunch for the outside of the chicken.  I put into a container flour, cornmeal, cornflakes and a crushed up high fiber cereal.  About 2 cups will be fine. I then put a package of dry ranch dressing mix in and add seasoning and parmesan cheese.  Remember chicken can be really plain so make sure to use lots of seasoning if you like it tasty.

Roll each piece of chicken in the egg or wet mixture and then in the flour batter mixture.  Then lay on a nonstick sprayed pan. 

Put in oven to bake.  After 25 minutes flip the chicken and bake another 25 minutes or until done. (170 degree internal temp)
