Meatloaf

I like meatloaf. My favorite recipe for meatloaf calls for ground beef, onions, ketchup, mustard, oats and a bunch of other yummy things. However, every time I make it David asks me if next time I could just make his mom's meatloaf. Finally after several times of just thinking that the recipe was close enough, I called up his mom to find out exactly how she makes her meatloaf. The following is her recipe, and is David's favorite meatloaf by far.

Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger
1 egg
1 can tomato sauce
12-16 saltine crackers
Salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic salt (abt. 1/4-1/2 tsp each?)

Combine all ingredients and pat into an 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

David doesn't like any sauce on his, but I spread ketchup on the top of mine. Enjoy!

Scalloped Potatoes

I love scalloped potatoes but always made them from a box. David has asked me to make his mom's scalloped potatoes several times, and I'm pretty sure that I have - but I'm finally getting the recipe written down and saved. They are really very easy and extremely delicious. David loves to eat them with his mom's Meatloaf.

Ingredients:
8 potatoes
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can milk
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Pepper
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Cheese

Directions:
Peel and slice potatoes. You want them to be fairly evenly sized and at least 3-4 deep. Mix cream of chicken with milk and season with salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. Top with ample amounts of cheese.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft and cheese is melted.
