What's for Dinner Week!!! And The WINNERS!




This week I ask the question What's for Dinner!?
I am also providing answers! I have touted Menu Planning Mondays, but now I will put my money where my mouth is and let you in on what I like to cook.

Now, you must know I am mainly a one disher. I mean everything in a bowl, mix, mix, mix and bake. then eat. Done. I like 'em easy and yummy. When I want Coq Au Vin I let Hubby step up because he is the true chef of our family. I'm just a mom who know her limitations. I need a recipe, I cannot ad lib and throw things together, OH NO! I almost burnt the house down making fried chicken. Are you with me?

Now I know everyones stocks are in the pooper so I thought I would help out by encouraging you to stay home and cook dammit! LOL! Some of these recipes I will be giving are family recipes. I mean old southern stuff, so they need a lot of love! On to the menu.

Tonight darlings, we are making Turkey Meatloaf. This was Granmommies recipe, and originally was beef, but I think the turkey is even MORE YUMMY!

Here you go:

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
1/2 cup tomato soup
1 cup corn flakes (crushed)
1 egg (beaten)
2 or 3 stalks of celery (de string)
1/2 or 3/4 small white onion chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 slices of bacon (for top)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix ingredients (except bacon) in a bowl. Form into a loaf and place into a pan lined with tin foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over the top(this is Key!) Microwave bacon so it's partially done and then place across the top. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

I serve it with broccoli and potatoes!

ENJOY!

Great minds think alike! I just started a (hopefully) weekly post of what we eat at our house. I'm hoping to give myself inspiration for later when I can't think of anything to make.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is one of my daughter's favorite dinners! She'll be finishing her first report for school tonight, so I might make this for her. Thanks for the inspiration!

Question about the meatloaf: If I am not using the bacon on top, do I still need the boiling water? I assume so but wanted to make sure they aren't related in some way.

Congrats on the pregnancy!

The recipe looks delicious!

By the way, I finally gave in and bought Tori's book today, and decided to do a giveaway too (and credited you for the idea in my post)! Tori is apparently a prepster trend - who knew?

Hope you're having a great week . .

We love meatloaf at our home, too. On days I am really tired, I use the McCormick season packet for meatloaf, it's yummy!
