No drama, just comfort.

Meatloaf just has comfort written all over it, don't you think? We haven't had it in a long time and even though it's still Summer...the air was a combination of damp and crisp tonight so I figured meatloaf would be what's for dinner.

It is one of those things you don't really need a recipe for, but I have one written down that I made up mainly because I am a freak about recipes. That is partly why I was so mad at myself with the steamed clams in beer sauce mess.....I knew better than to just "wing" a recipe.

I just love a dinner with no drama.

I, of course, didn't eat this dinner. I had fish. It looked good though.



Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf - Sponsored by Costco, it seems.

2 lbs Ground Turkey – Mine is from Costco, of course...2 packages.
2 eggs
½ cup of ketchup
½ cup or so of plain bread crumbs
1 tbl of Chris seasoning mix (recipe below) or your fav. Seasoning mix.
1 cup milk
1 cup grated cheese (or to taste)– I use grated cheddar jack (Costco)

Mix all the ingredients and put into a 13X9 baking dish. The key with meatloaf or meatballs for that matter is to not overwork the meat. Form it into a rectangle. The secret is to try and get it a uniform thickness all over so it cooks evenly. Bake at 425 for about an hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, slice and enjoy.
