PIONEER DRUMSTICKS (MEATLOAF ON A STICK)

Steps:

• Mix "the meat" ingredients in a large bowl (or mixer); do NOT overmix.
• Pack meat mixture into a zipper bag and freeze OR chill the day before leaving on a camping trip. If frozen, plan to use it the second day out--giving it time to thaw while you're out-n-about doing other things! (Critter-proof thawing location, please.).
• One hour before serving, have children locate & legally obtain green sticks as large in diameter as their (or your) little finger.
• Just before serving time: have children WASH THEIR HANDS---this is crucial!
• At serving time: each child grabs out one handful of meat and presses it around the stick. You must NOT wiggle the stick or the meat will drop off.
• Carefully wedge the stick over the fire (not the flames!) to roast in the heat -- OR if you have a grill -- lay the sticks on a foil covered grill.
• Figure about 5-10 minutes for roasting time, turning several times to get all sides nice-n-brown.
• To eat: hold an opened bun in your left hand, the stick with meat in your right. Lay the meat in the bun, close your left hand/bun, and pull the stick out of the meat. Decorate with pickle eyes and mustard nose and ketchup smile. And now eat. :-).
• OPTIONAL: Use your own favorite meatloaf recipe (that's what I do); change the seasonings to suit your tastes. Give it a taco spin with some cumin and chili powder. Add some ketchup (not too much to be watery, then the meat won't stick to stick!) or mustard. If the meat is "thin" -- try adding more crackers, to sop up the liquid.
• MOST OF ALL: have fun telling pioneer stories. Look at the stars, name the constellations. Listen to the birds.

MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour the milk over the bread and allow it to soak in for several minutes. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, salt, some pepper, seasoned salt and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
• Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a foil-lined broiler pan, which will allow the fat from the meat to drain.
• Lay the bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf to give the meatloaf some support.
• Next, make the tomato sauce: Pour the ketchup into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and dry mustard, and splash in the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture until well combined. Pour one-third of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 45 minutes, and then pour over another one-third of the remaining tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes; the meatloaf should be no longer pink in the middle. Allow to sit 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve with the remaining tomato sauce on the side as a dipping sauce.

SHEET PAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a half-sheet pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs, which will absorb the juices during cooking.
• Pour the milk over the bread in a bowl and allow it to soak up the milk. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, seasoned salt, parsley and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
• Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan, spreading all the way to the edges and corners.
• Next, make the glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until well combined. Brush the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with the bacon.
• Bake until the meat is cooked through and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, then cut into squares and serve with the mashed potatoes. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
