This Flavorful Meatloaf Recipe Is As Easy As It Gets

Want to hear something funny? Before we had kids, my husband was a picky eater. Well, he didn’t cringe or complain about anything I cooked, but since he can’t even tell a tiny white lie with a straight face, I always knew when he wasn’t particularly fond of the food I was serving. He especially didn’t like meatloaf, but it took me a long time to figure out that was probably my fault.

You see, as a young wife I did not have that much experience in cooking, and I was using the first recipe I happened to get my hands on. I didn’t think it was out of this world, either, but I had no idea how to make it better. Still, I wanted to serve delicious home cooked meals so I started collecting different kinds of recipes and trying them out, one by one, until I hit the jackpot.

I still haven’t found the perfect recipe for some dishes, but I certainly have found one for meatloaf! This super scrumptious one, from Lynn’s Recipes is what we call Daddy’s Favorite these days – my husband and kids are crazy about it! I’m so happy Lynn shared it in her awesome vlog.

This Rootin’ Tootin’ Chili Is The Real Thing!

When I was a kid, I can remember my mother making a hot, steaming casserole pan full of rich and syrupy baked beans. They were so good to eat! Granted, when dad and grandpa ate this concoction, they often made music together, if you get my drift. LOL! Anyway, haha, these beans will help all the single ladies land their man if they follow this recipe. A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach 🙂

Even though you may have to plug your nose after eating these baked beans, it’s well worth the trouble. These beans are made with sweet and savory ingredients that are perfect for noshing. I enjoy using this recipe for Sunday dinners with the family and during the holidays. The recipe is super simple to follow and makes a hearty batch of beans for your hungry family. Despite the possible side effects, this is going to turn into a family favorite!

Quick Tip: If you like your baked beans to be super sweet, try adding a few tablespoons more of brown sugar.

Boy, steaks are really out-of-this-world awesome, done this way!  This Marinated Steak With Bourbon Cream Mushroom Sauce combines two great recipes to produce a dish that is undeniably restaurant-grade gourmet.  And once you have given the marinade some time to work its magic, it doesn’t take very long to cook.

I love a good steak now and then (who doesn’t?), love my creamy sauces, and occasionally like a nip of that brown liquor called bourbon (it is awesome in mint juleps, by the way).  This deliciousness combined all three, and it had been a while since I had any juicy beef, so how could I possibly resist?  I have to say, I was already expecting something good and got something even better…so much YUM! It won’t be long ’til I make these again for my family!

Quick tip: Marinade the stakes the night before for best results.

This Italian dish may not be as well known in the United States as, say, spaghetti with meat sauce or lasagna, but it is at least as comforting and filling!  It is not your usual lamb- or mutton-based version of such a dish, but the Italian Shepherd’s Pie is still very hearty and incorporates a multitude of savory ingredients into one recipe.

I had generally shied away from shepherd’s pie in the past, because most traditional versions of it are made with lamb or mutton, and I inherited a bit of a shyness about trying those meats from both my parents.  When I came across this version, though, I was eager to give it a try.  The combination of ingredients spices up the dish a bit and offers a different choice of meat while still remaining true to the simplicity and comfort-food spirit of the original.
