Easy Meatloaf

This is a great, classic meatloaf, and the topping mixture is delicious! However, using all ground beef resulted in a very dense and sort of chewy meatloaf. I would advise using a "meatloaf mix" of either beef & pork or beef, pork and lamb. Many grocery stores sell a mix like this already pre-packaged, but you can always just buy them separately and mix them together. I used such a mix when I made this for the second time, and it resulted in a meatloaf that was moist and had a more pleasing texture. I did add about 15 minutes to the baking time. Other than that, I loved it and will make it again!

This was the best meatloaf that I've ever made. I used about 2.3 lbs. of ground beef. Following some of the advice of others as well as adding a few of my own tweaks, the meatloaf was perfect. Here's what I did: 1. I sautéed finely chopped onion, 3 cloves (minced garlic) & 2 stalks of celery in butter (which really makes the loaf tender); then added it to the ground beef. 2. I added 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef mixture along with 2 eggs instead of 1, 1 1/4 cup of milk & about 1 1/2 cup of dried Italian bread crumbs. 3. For the sauce: I initially made it as the directions indicated with 2 TBSP. of brown sugar, and found it to be way too sweet. I then added 1/3 more ketchup and a couple of dashes of Worcestershire Sauce and it was perfect. 4. It was an abundance of sauce, and a lot of the other reviews said that there wasn't enough sauce, so I spooned a thin layer at the bottom of the loaf, molded half the loaf, then sauced the top, and then added the rest of the loaf on top and sauced it really well. This was absolutely perfect. 5. Lastly, there was no specification on whether or not to cook the meatloaf covered or uncovered. I used enough aluminum foil to line the baking dish as well as cover the top (so I essentially wrapped the loaf in foil) and cooked covered for 45 minutes, drained most of any accumulated liquid and cooked uncovered for an additional 30 minutes. This was super moist and delicious!!!!!

The Mac and Cheese

Once upon a time, there was a girl who just wanted creamy, cheesy mac and cheese.  Not full of spices or fancy things, just plain ol’ gooey mac and cheese that she could make herself.  So I developed this recipe and now I share it with you, friends.  Because you all deserve this bit of comforting yum in your life.  You are so welcome.

This one is the one I make to go along with Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders or Hammy Sammies or Beef Roast Sandwiches.  How about Loaded Roast Beef and Bleu Sliders?  You should probably check them out!  Heck, this would make a PBJ look great.  You could also easily add chunks of ham and make it a full meal.  Add some bacon or crab if it floats your boat!  Pulled pork?  Oh good heavens! The possibilities are endless.

Our favorite combinations are a Havarti (2 cups) Cheddar (4 cups) blend with bacon, or smoked Gouda/Cheddar with ham.  Also, we’ve grown quite fond of next-day-leftovers* pressed flat and fried in refined (no coconut flavor) coconut oil. Crispy on the outside and hot and gooey on the inside.  How can you resist?

Leftover Mac fried in coconut oil

This one has become my frenemy.   It is why I exercise.  I both love and despise it.

And it’s EASY.  The only bummer is the tired hand you’ll have from grating all of that cheese. You can, however, use your food processor to grate partially frozen cheese!

Boil your choice of pasta (I love cavatappi ’cause it’s just so fun) in water salted with a teaspoon or so of salt until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, melt 1/2 c. (1 stick) of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.  Sprinkle in 1/2 c. flour, and whisk together for 2-3 minutes to let it cook.

Add in up to 1 T. salt and up to 1 T. pepper.  Yes, that’s Tablespoon, and yes, it’s a lot of spice, but that’s how we like it around here!  As always, adjust seasonings to your taste.   I use Kosher  or my new favorite Real Salt.  Slowly pour in 4 cups of whole milk (don’t skimp here–in fact you can even use some cream) whisking as you go until smooth.  Keep whisking until the sauce comes just to a very low boil.  This is where it will thicken considerably.  If you stop heating it too soon, it will not thicken correctly so whisk and heat until  thickened just like in the picture below.  Remove from heat.

Grease a 9×13″ dish with butter and add the cooked pasta to the dish.

Over the top of the pasta sprinkle 6 cups freshly shredded Cheddar (I use white or sharp), or any mix of cheese you prefer. Some favorites with Cheddar are Havarti and Gouda.

Pour the beautiful cream sauce over the top of the cheese and pasta and let it sit a couple minutes to begin to melt the cheese.

Then, stir the whole beautiful cheesy goodness together and make the topping.

In a small skillet, melt 2 T. butter over medium heat.  Add in 1/2 c. panko bread crumbs.  Stir constantly until golden brown.  Sprinkle over the pasta and cheese.

Bake in a 325 degree preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.

Hot, cheesy perfection.

Serves approx. 6-8 as a main dish or 10-12 as a side.

The Best Keto Bread Recipe on the Internet

If you’ve been looking for what is definitively the best keto bread recipe on the internet, then you’ve come to the right place. How do I know it’s the best? Well, I’ve tried just about every keto bread recipe there is over the past few months and decided that nothing was good enough. There’s a couple that are good, but I wanted perfection! The best part about this recipe is that it’s simple, and once you have it down you can replicate this keto friendly bread any time you want. I’ve been making a low carb loaf every sunday for the past few weeks and would recommend that to anyone. It’s so nice to have a loaf of bread at your disposal when you’re on a low carb diet. It almost feels like cheating. Check out this recipe and start making the best keto bread you’ve ever tried today!

Healthy Low Carb Bread

The secret step in this recipe that takes this low carb almond bread from good to great is the separation of the eggs. You’re going to want to separate the yolks and the whites. The reason for this is that we’re going to whip the egg whites until they are fluffy. We’re looking for soft peaks. This will add some volume to the otherwise dense keto bread. Beating the egg whites is the answer to the denseness that comes with making an almond flour bread. I’ve made countless baked goods using almond flour and the main problem I’ve encountered is how dense the finished product is. The fluffy egg whites in unison with the high dosage of baking powder do a good job of getting this loaf nice and fluffy and adding some air pockets into the loaf. This makes for a better tasting bread.

What makes this the best keto bread recipe you’re likely to find is the fact that you can use it the same way you use actual bread. Sounds crazy right? If you search for keto bread on pinterest, or the internet you’ll find a different recipe for everything you might want to make. Want to make french toast? sandwiches? croutons? avocado toast? You can do it all with this keto bread recipe. You can even get crazy and throw this bread in a food processor and use it as italian bread crumbs. The possibilities are endless.

Your Low Carb Bread Replacement Has Arrived!

The best part about this bread is that it makes it so much easier to eat a low carb diet. Yes, there are some savage beasts(joking) that don’t miss bread at all and are happy to just eat bacon 7 times a day, but if you’re anything like me, bread was a staple of your diet growing up and you still have a look of yearning in your eyes when they drop that bread basket in the middle of the table at family dinner. I feel your pain. This low carb bread recipe is your shoulder to cry on.

Don’t Like Almond Flour?

If you dont like, or don’t have almond flour you can still make amazing keto bread! I would recommend that you don’t just try and substitute coconut flour into this recipe. Instead, give these keto dinner rolls a shot! They use a combination of coconut flour and psyllium husk powder to achieve a perfectly fluffy interior. Looking for something sweeter, we’ve got you covered there too with the subtle sweetness of our cream cheese bread!
