••••MOM'S MEAT LOAF!!

 

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour + standing

MAKES:6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup 2% milk
• 2/3 cup finely crushed saltines
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
• Dash pepper
• 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into an 8x4-in. loaf in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients, stirring to dissolve sugar; remove 1/2 cup for sauce. Spread remaining mixture over meat loaf.

Test Kitchen Tips

Chicken, beef or vegetable broth can be used instead of milk.

Tips for a tender loaf: Use a gentle touch when mixing and shaping. Also, be sure to moisten the cracker crumbs or bread crumbs before adding them to the meat.

Swap ground turkey for the beef. It pairs perfectly with the earthy rubbed sage.

Short on time? Skip the sauce-making and use your favorite prepared barbecue sauce instead.

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. 

MAKES:18 servings

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 18 slices snack rye bread
• 6 ounces sliced deli turkey
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
• 5 Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Dissolve bouillon in water; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; add cream and bouillon. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted. Remove from heat.
3. Place bread on two baking sheets. Layer each slice with turkey, onion and cheese mixture. Bake until heated through, 10-12 minutes. (Or preheat broiler and broil until edges of bread are crisp and sauce is bubbly, 3-5 minutes.) Sprinkle with bacon and parsley. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen. 

Try them as a slider: double the amount of bread slices but only top half. After assembling, use the remaining bread slices to top your mini sandwiches.
