This is what’s for dinner tonight

I just made a meatloaf and put it in the fridge. I’ll but it in the oven in about 45 minutes to bake. We’ll be having mashed potatoes and vegetables along with it.

I didn’t measure anything but this is what I put in it:

2 lbs ground beef 93% lean
1 egg
breadcrumbs
parmesean cheese
onion & garlic powder
honey barbecue sauce

I mixed it all together so it wasn’t real wet but not dry either. I put it into a loaf pan and added strips of bacon on the top and brushed on more honey barbecue sauce.

It will cook for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees.

Potato Pancakes

Here’s a delicious recipe that won’t have you looking for flight deals to find the ingredients to make it.

Makes 4 servings

2 large Idaho potatoes
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. flour
1 small yellow onion – peeled and finely grated
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. cooking oil

Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them stand for 15 to 20 minutes. While you are waiting mix the egg and flour until smooth and stir in all remaining ingredients except for the oil. Drain the potatoes and squeeze them as dry as possible then stir them into the batter. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the oil, shaping them into 4 or 5 large cakes and flatten them slightly with a spatula. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side then turn the heat down to low and cook the pancakes for 20 to 25 minutes .. turning frequently so they’re cooked through. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
