Meatloaf

My husband loves meatloaf.  I make mine right in a gallon size bag so I do not get my hands full of raw meat and, if needed, I can freeze it right in the bag.  I alternate between ground turkey and ground beef so either works in this recipe.

This meatloaf serves 6 easily.

2lbs Ground Meat (beef or turkey)
1 Envelope of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix
1/3 Cup Water
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Breadcrumbs
1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp Tastefully Simple Merlot Sauce
1/3 Cup Ketchup

Place all the ingredients in a bowl or ziplock bag and combine well.

For best results let mixture rest together before cooking (or freeze).

To cook place in a 2 quart casserole dish and bake in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour or place in a slow cooker on low for 6 hours.  It is especially delicious with some red wine poured over top and used as sort of a marinade.

PB & Marshmallow Cookies

These no-bake cookies are quick and easy.  The gooey marshmallow on top is an extra treat!

This makes about 20 cookies

1 Sleeve of Cinnamon Graham Crackers, crushed into crumbs
1/2 Cup Creamy Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 Cup Pancake Syrup
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla
10 Jumbo Marshmallows, cut in half

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, except marshmallows, until well blended.  Using your hands, roll the mixture into approximately 20 balls (about 1-1 1/2 in).  Place in a microwave safe plate.  Using a fork, flatten each one and top each with a marshmallow.  Microwave the cookies for about 25 seconds to partially melt the marshmallow.  Enjoy, especially warm and gooey!
