Betsy's Meatloaf
"I'm not sure how long Betsy has been making this, but it's delicious and her daughter who is semi picky would choose this meatloaf every night if she could! She usually tops it with ketchup before cooking, but I leave it off! You don't need to change a thing in this meatloaf, it's seasoned perfectly!"

Great for family and kids, perfect for meatloaf sandwiches, I agree that the seasonings are perfect. This dish won't win a beauty contest, but when has meatloaf ever been a company dish? I was impressed with its uniform texture; it cut cleanly. This tasted wonderful. DH has requested that I use this recipe to make meatloaf for his fishing outings. To jazz up the presentation, I would serve with a pineapple or mango salsa. For weeknight meals, wouldn't mashed potatoes and gravy be the popular choice? To ensure even cooking, I created a dimple down the top center of the meatloaf. DH brought home 25% fat ground pork. I lifted the meatloaf from the pan with two spatulas onto a broiler pan to drain. This meatloaf did not fall apart easily during that maneuver. It took me additional time to cook this, as I cooked until a meat thermometer read 140 degrees F. I'm really glad I tried this, the taste is much better than most meatloaf recipes I have tried before. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

I started cooking just by helping my Mom out in the kitchen as a little girl. I preferred baking over cooking, as I loved getting all into measuring things and stirring. I always got to stir!
However in the past 5 years I've been the one responsible for making nightly dinners. At first this consisted of the same 10 or so dishes in a constant rotation, but that quickly became boring and I remembered how much my Mom would complain when I was younger about how she always made the same things and she never knew what new dishes to try! Obviously 20 years ago, Zaar wasn't around!
I still cook a lot of the same type of dishes my Mom cooked when we were younger and I try to incorporate as much fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs into my meals as possible. However Melvin's favorite food of all time is fried chicken so... I make sure he gets a fresh vegetable on the side!
My favorite cook book is my staple cookbook which is the old red and white Better Homes Cook Book. My only pet peeve about cooking is bland food!
