I fell in love with cooking as a little girl, sitting on the counter, helping Mom cook. That shared love of cooking is what this blog is all about. I want this to be a place where we can all share and learn from each other all our favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and more. From how to fry an egg to Grandma's tried and true classics to your favorite olive oil. I hope everyone enjoys the blog, has fun with it, and will contribute your own ideas.

Mom's Meatloaf

This is my Mom's recipe for Meatloaf. It is hands down the easiest and best tasting way to make it I have ever had. Yumm. Had this for dinner last night and looking forward to leftovers for lunch! :-) 
Mom's Meatloaf
By Judy R. 
2-3 lbs ground 80/20 ground beef
3/4 sleeve of saltine crackers, crumbled
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup milk
4 T ketchup
2 eggs
More Ketchup for top
4 slices American Cheese.


Preheat oven at 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix all ingredients (except cheese and ketchup for top) with your hands until all is blended well. Form into loaf and put into a loaf pan, bake for 1 hr 20 minutes or until middle reaches temperature of 170 degrees. Remove from oven and top with slices of cheese, and cover with desired amount of ketchup. Place back in oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Slice and serve while hot! 


Note: A great idea for leftovers is to get a good sandwich bread from the deli and make meatloaf sandwiches the next day. SO GOOD!
