Double Duty Dinners Meatloaf Meatballs Recipes

MEATLOAF MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Prehead oven to 375 degrees (F).
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl (I prefer to use my stand up mixer).
• Form into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan or glass baking dish.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• Enjoy your meatloaf.
• Cut the leftovers up into one inch cubes and place in a pot of your favorite tomato sauce.
• Refridgerate overnight.
• Cook your "meatloaf meatballs" on low heat for 1 1/2 - 2 hours and serve over pasta.

DINER MEATLOAF AND MEATBALLS MIXTURE

Steps:

• Combine onion, saltine crackers, salt, pepper, egg and milk.
• Add ground beef and mix to combine.
• At this point, you can shape into loaves, wrap in plastic wrap, place in freezer bag and freeze for later use.
• If using for meatballs, spread mixture out on plastic wrap in a flat square; put in freezer bag and freeze. I use defrost level in microwave to defrost 1 lb ground beef.
• For meatloaf, we simply pour a layer of ketchup over the loaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• For meatballs, shape into desired size; brown in fry pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add meatballs to tomato/spaghetti sauce or chili sauce with grape jelly sauce.
• Variation: Feel free to add garlic powder or minced garlic and/or Parmesan cheese.
