Lil Cheddar Meat Loaves

I love visiting my country friends!  Its one of the things I look forward to the most! 



Pretty cows and just enough moisture to make my vehicle a mess! A dirty car is a badge of honor!  Dare to do dirt or at least gravel!  There is so much to be seen and enjoyed, if you leave pavement behind!



The great thing about country friends is that they'll often cook for you! My friend Michelle has shared two wonderful dishes with me and today I'm going to share one with you!  



Lil Cheddar Meat Loaves

1 egg
3/4 c milk
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c quick cooking oats
1/2 c chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1 lb lean ground beef
2/3 c ketchup
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp prepared mustard





In a bowl, beat the egg and milk.  Stir in cheese, oats, onion and salt.  Add beef and mix well.  Shape into eight loaves, place in a greased 13x9 baking dish. 
Combine ketchup, brown sugar and mustard, spoon over loaves. 
Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minute or until the meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. 



Look at those beauties!  We paired them with a spinach salad and fresh fruit salad!  



While Michelle and I caught up, she baked me a loaf of banana oatmeal bread!  It is Huge and oh so good! 




Michelle doubled the meatloaf recipe and she sent me home with this tray full!  Bread and extra meat loaves!  Thank you, Michelle!
