Meatloaf

Once in awhile it just nice to go to the comfort food and this one is a good one. Easy and yummy. I've made this recipe for years so I'm not sure where I got it from.

Family favorite for sure. Goes well with Mashed herb potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean hamburger

2 eggs beaten

3/4 cup milk

2/3 cup breadcrumbs

1 pkg onion soup mix

Mix together and put in a loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Sauce

1/3 cup ketchup 

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Mix together and place on meatloaf after it has cooked for an hour. Put back in over for 15 more mins. 

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

This recipe is super easy to make and you could probably change it up so many ways as well. I got this from the Duggar family of "19 Kids and Counting" as I'm a big fan of the show and saw them make it one time and looked up the recipe. So thank you Duggars!

Ingredients

1 box of 24 ice cream sandwiches

1 tub of cool whip

1 bottle of Smuckers caramel sauce

1 bottle of Smuckers chocolate sauce

2 king size Butterfingers candy bars. 

How to assemble

Place 12 ice cream sandwiches in a 9x13 pan. 

cover with half the cool whip topping

drizzle 1/2 the caramel sauce and 1/2 the chocolate sauce (or to liking)

crumble 1 candy bar

repeat with layer of ice cream sandwiches 

then the rest of the cool whip

remainder of caramel and chocolate sauce

and finally crumble with the other candy bar. 

Freeze until ready to eat. 

So good!!

Baking Powder Biscuits

These are a must with stews or chili. So good!

Ingredients

2 cups flour, sifted

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup shortening 

1 cup milk

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add shortening and cut in with pastry blender or 2 knifes until particles are size or rice grains. 

Add milk and stir until dough stiffens-dough should be rather soft. 

Turn dough onto a floured board and knead for about 10 times (I don't even do it that much). Roll out (I usually just use my hands for this) to 3/4 inch think. Cut with biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Place on greased baking pan (you can use parchment). Bake 10-15 mins at 450 F, depending on thickness or until they are golden brown. You can brush with melted butter when done if you would like. Makes about 8-10 depending on size. 

Apple Crisp

This is a family favorite comfort food. So yummy and a perfect Fall/Winter dessert. Or pretty much anytime in my house. Love it!

Ingredients

Apple mixture:

approx 6-8 apples (I use a variety but mostly gala or granny smith)

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

2 tsp cinnamon 

Peel and slice apples and place in a bowl. Toss apples with mixture of sugar, flour and cinnamon. Place in a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. 

Topping:

1 cup margarine or butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

Combined ingredients well until crumbly and sprinkle on top of apples. Bake 350 F for 1 hour. 

So good served warm with vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream. Enjoy!
