Mini-meatloaf.

I want to encourage you all this week. Cooking takes awhile sometimes and others its easy. As a wife and mom someday, I want to provide the best kind of food and eating for my husband. A lot of our world is overweight or eats junk, but we can change that!! The best thing i've done for myself is to start eating healthy and staying fit! It takes work but there is always a great outcome. Let's try and work together to make our homes healthy and fit. Drink more water or add more fruits and veggies to dinner. Sometimes starting out with the little things will help making a difference.

Okay enough about that. Last week was Brett's birthday. So in honor of his birthday we had a birthday dinner. It consisted of his favorite meal; mini-meatloaf, mashed cauliflower (that's not his favorite), and corn. Brett and I love meatloaf. Fortunately we come from families where both our mom's have made amazing meatloaf! Today i'll show you the way my mother-in-law makes it! It's easy!!

Mini-meatloaves

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (uncooked)
1 box stuffing mix
1 cup water
1 tsp garlic powder
cheddar cheese
bbq sauce

1. Preheat oven to 375. Combine ground beef (not cooked), box of stuffing, water and powder and mix well.

2. Press combination evenly into muffin pan cups. Make an indentation with a spoon in the center of each cup.

3. Put BBQ sauce where you made indentation.

4. Bake meatloaves for 30 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.

5. Top evenly with cheese and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

VOILA!!! They are absolutely delicious!! Remember they don't need to be pretty, just edible.

Enjoy the week! Encourage someone this week, you never know who needs it!

Peace, Love and God's love.
