Meatloaf Cupcakes
This is an idea I got off the net, but I am using a recipe for meatloaf I got from my friend, Karen Blakemore. I call it Karen's Meatloaf. :) Anyway, here is the recipe! It really does make a great April Fool's Day dinner, by the way.Ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped onions (optional...TJ doesn't like onions, so I have to leave these out)
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
Sauce:
2/3 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 & 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
Topping:
Mashed Potatoes
Food Coloring
Directions:
Mix together the first 7 ingredients. Press into tin muffin cups & fill 3/4 full with the mixture.
In a small bowl mix together the sauce ingredients. Spoon over "cupcakes". Bake in a 350 degree oven for approx. 45 minutes.
While those are baking, make your mashed potatoes...or do like me and heat up Bob Evans store bought Mashed Potatoes! Add desired food coloring.
When the meatloaf is finished, put colored Mashed Potatoes on top. Serve!!
This made 12 cupcakes and one small dish of meatloaf, so could have made about 18, I think.
I have to say, I don't usually like meatloaf, but this is SO good!! Even TJ and Sam love it!!
Thanks, Karen!!

Mexican Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
One 2.5 lb bag of Chicken Tenderloins
2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cans of Mexican Rotel
Approx. 8 -10 slices of Velveeta Cheese (I use the thin sliced individually wrapped ones)
Bag of Cheese Doritoes, crushed
1 - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Bake the chicken tenderloins then cut up in cubes. In a medium bowl, mix the soup, chicken, and Rotel together. Put some of the Doritoes in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Pour some of the chicken mixture over that. Place some of Velveeta slices on that. Put more Doritoes on that, pour the rest of the chicken mixture over that. Place Velveeta slices on that. Put more Doritoes on that and cover with the cheddar cheese. You could also put some jalapenos on top for more spice and color. Bake at 350 for about 30 - 45 minutes. Serve with salsa and chips.
