Have you ever set out some meat for supper and then think to yourself, geez I wish I didn’t thaw that out? As you can about imagine, that’s what happened to me tonight. I purposely thawed out some hamburger so I could make some meatloaf, but when it came down to making it, man did I wish I had a frozen pizza in the freezer instead. But these two pounds of hamburger were just sitting there and I thought I’d better get in gear and do something about it. So I looked for one of those easy packets that everyone has in the cupboard. These packets are the ones that you literally open and dump on the meat, add a couple of eggs and some water and just like that you’re done. Well everyone has these in their cupboards but me evidently! So I got out my cookbook and looked for Daryl’s Mom’s meatloaf recipe and I was sure glad that I found it. Now it was literally just as easy as one of those packet deals, and I’m thinking it was a whole lot better for you! I’m not a big fan of meatloaf to be honest, but Daryl sure likes this recipe. I think he not only likes how the food tastes, but I think he also likes the memories of his Mom making it just as much! Here’s the recipe below:
