Qinella: Try one! Buy the hotdog buns also available at Costco and you've got a meal in less than 10 minutes. You can even use ground pork and it tastes good!

Ya-ta: If it were a rainy Sunday, I'd go with meatloaf, but being as it's nice, go with the Joes!

(So...it's 8:30 pm...which did you choose??)

By popular demand, here is the award-winning recipe for meat loaf, right off the Quaker Oats box top:

Meat Loaf
1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
1 cup of tomato juice (tomato sauce and ketchup both work)
3/4 cup of old fashioned uncooked Quaker Oats
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 t salt (optional)
1/4 t black pepper

(I added a capful of A-1 sauce for a bit of extra flavor.)

Heat oven to 350 F and bake one hour. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Cooking tip from Ya-ta: Cover the bottom of the pan with two slices of bread--to soak up the grease. Remove before serving.

The Quaker Oats people claim you can make 8 3 x 2 inch mini-loaves and bake in a microwave for about 10 minutes (covered with wax paper). I've never tried it.


Sloppy Joes
1 T oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pound of lean ground beef
3/4 cup chili sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 t cider vinegar
1/2 t salt
1/2 t black pepper

1. Saute the onion in the oil, then add the bell pepper and garlic and cook about 2 minutes.

2. Add the ground beef and brown.

3. Reduce heat to low and add the other ingredients. Increase the heat and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.

4. Serve on buns or split rolls.


I decided since it was Sunday that I should have something 'special', so went with the meatloaf. Sloppy Joes are more of a weeknight delicacy. ^^
Current dilemma: What to do with the leftovers. Can't have meat loaf, baked potato, green beans and a salad for lunch everyday. What to do? What to do?


Re the comment about Korean beef. I agree. Korean beef is fine. Expensive, but fine. My point is that I am boycotting Korean beef (with the very occassional lapse of principle) as long as the government boycotts American beef. It's a personal thing.

JongnoGuru: I don't know....to me, meatloaf is "comfort food"...not something to be cooked on a warm, sunny day. Cooked on a chilly, rainy day it warms up the house. Since Sloppy Joes only take a few minutes and you cook them on top of the stove, they're for warmer weather when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

Leftovers? You could cut them meatball-size and have spagetti! Meatloaf sandwiches?
