Best Recipe Contest for August's recipe contest is: Potatoes
The potato is a starchy tuberous vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. There are some 5,000 potato varieties worldwide, 3,000 of them in the Andes alone — mainly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia. Over 100 cultivars might be found in a single valley, and a dozen or more might be maintained by a single agricultural household. Potato dishes vary around the world. Lets post some potato dishes that are hard to turn down. Most meals consider the potato as a staple, cooked in many different way.

Subscribe(#5705645) "Guess" Meatloaf
Posted by JanuarySnowAngel on 16 Aug 2025 at 5:43PM
I call this the "Guess" Meatloaf because I can only guess at the quantities since I never measure.
Ingredients:
Ground Beef (about 1-1/2 to 2 pounds?)
Sliced Bread (about 2 or 3 slices?) - sogged up with warm water (then squeezed to release the water; pull apart into small pieces when ready to mix into ground beef.)
Eggs (2)
Quick Oats (3/4 to 1 cup?)
Season with Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, and just a little Poultry Seasoning (maybe 1/2 tsp)
Ketchup
1. Mix all together with your hands until blended.
2. Shape meatloaf into oval (like a football)
3. Squeeze Ketchup over top of meatloaf (criss cross or your own design)
4. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hr.
(I added the Quick Oats to my mom's recipe. It seems to make the meatloaf more moist.)
Nice option, especially for singles:
1. Instead of one large meatloaf, shape into smaller mini loaves
2. Put into glass casserole dish
3. Prepare two packets of dry beef gravy according to package directions. (no need to cook it.)
4. Pour the gravy mix over tops of the mini meat loaves. (Instead of ketchup)
5. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
*Note: If you are prearing for just one or two people, you can freeze the quantities of mini loaves that you want, before baking and without the gravy mix. Add that after thawing and before baking, when ready.
This tastes so good with homemade mashed potatoes
