About Me

I am 26 years old and learning more about myself every single day. More recently, my boyfriend (JD) and I have been on a quest to save our pennies by not eating out so often! ...Heck, maybe I'll even lose a few pounds in the process..? However, this also means I'll need to learn how to cook! I got the idea to start this blog from watching the movie Julie & Julia, but also from attempting a few recipes from a fellow blogger just this past weekend! I have tons of recipes I plan to test out... So, here goes nothin'! Enjoy! xo.

Meghan's Mom's Meatloaf!

I am super excited for tonight's meal! I have been craving a good meatloaf and Meghan (my friend/Supervisor) raves about her Mom's recipe! I can't wait to try it! It's going to be absolutely delish, I just know it!

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 c. Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder (optional)
  • 1 can Campbell's® Alphabet Vegetable Beef soup ("smushed up a bit")
  • Ketchup

Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt & pepper (to taste), garlic powder, and soup.  Shape into brick form in a casserole dish, and top with Ketchup.
Bake at 375 for approximately 1 hour or until golden brown.

My mouth is watering in anticipation! I can't wait! Report back later!

So, I'm betting this would've been an awesome recipe, if I had it right? Something went terribly wrong, as I ended up with meat-mush.  Maybe it needed more breadcrumbs? Maybe I should've drained the soup? Perhaps I should not have made it in a loaf pan? Silly me for thinking a meatloaf was made in a loaf pan! Not this meatloaf! :) 


We'll have to attempt this recipe again when we have all of the correct measurements and directions! Honestly, it was very tasty meatmush... I simply feel I'd prefer it if it were a loaf. ;-)


Verdict: Tabled pending further investigation...
