Li'l Cheddar Meat Loaves Recipe...yummy!


I thought I would share another of our family favorite recipes from my friends at Taste Of Home.
I have been making this great meatloaf recipe for years. It is unique with the cheddar cheese, which makes it very moist.
Then...I can't say enough good about that wonderful sauce over the top, its scrumptious. If you have kids that don't like meatloaf, I can almost guarantee they will like this one!


8 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.


Ingredients

1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard


Directions
In a large bowl, whisk egg and milk. Stir in the cheese, oats, onion and salt. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight loaves; place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard; spoon over loaves.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 8 servings.

Easy Crockpot Country Style BBQ Ribs!

I just made our family favorite ribs today and wanted to share my recipe. It's really easy and really yummy!


Ingredients:


*2-3 pkgs Country Style Boneless Pork Ribs
(any amount depending on the size of servings you want or whatever your crock pot will hold)
*1-2 onions sliced
*salt
*pepper
*garlic powder
*water
*2 bottles BBQ sauce (any kind)
Our personal favorite is Baby Ray BBQ sauce (I find it at Walmart) because it doesn't have as much of a vinegar/acid taste as some, and is sweeter.



Next...
Layer pork ribs in crock pot and as you layer them, season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onions. After filling the crock pot pour water over the ribs, enough to almost cover them completely. (leave room for the juices and fat that will come to the surface from the ribs.



Cook on high for 4-5 hours or until very tender when poked with a fork. They should be falling apart. Check periodically and move them around so they all get cooked well.




Remove ribs from all the fat and juice within the crockpot and place in an ungreased baking pan. I leave behind any big pieces of fat that have fallen off the meat.

Pour barbeque sauce over ribs till they are generously covered.

Cover with foil.

Bake @375 for about 30 min or until sauce has had a chance to heat and saturate the meat.


These ribs make great leftovers and freeze well.
I like to serve these with veggies, cornbread and salad.

Enjoy!
