You’ll love this easy meatloaf and wonder why it has been absent from your kitchen all of these years. This makes a great addition to your weekly menu and a fun meal to prepare with children.

Instructions: Ingredients | Directions

This recipe is going to take you about ten minutes to prepare, cook time is one hour, and you’ll be already to eat in an hour and ten minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup dried bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup ketchup

Directions

  1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
  2. Take out a large mixing bowl and combine the beef, egg, onion, milk and bread, though I will also use cracker crumbs if I don’t have the bread on hand. Season with salt and pepper to suite your family’s taste and place in a greased loaf pan.
  3. Now in a new bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and ketchup. Mix it until it is an even consistency then pour it over over the meatloaf, careful not to spill it on the edge of the pan since it will burn.

Old Fashioned Melt In Your Moth Pancakes

Recipes

I love the soft texture of this amazing recipe from my grandmother. These oh so tasty pancakes will melt in your mouth and fill you with memories of your childhood. At least that is what they do for me. Plus they are easy to make.

Instructions: Ingredients | Directions

This recipe is going to take you about 5 m to prepare, cook time is 15 m, and you’ll be already in around 20 m.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Then make an indentation in the middle of the dry ingredients to act as your well. Pour the milk, egg and melted butter in the well and mix it together until it is a smooth batter.
  2. Heat a frying pan and lightly oil it. Pour or scoop (I use a metal ladle) the batter into the frying pan, my ladle is a quarter cup which makes a nice pancake. Brown on both sides and to get the classic golden brown color. Make sure that they are served hot, this is where you skill is required.
