Meatloaf

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt

8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp mustard
1/4 cup vinegar

Directions

Mix first 5 ingredients. In separate bowl mix remaining ingredients. Add 1 cup of tomato mixture to beef mixture. {I added extra cracker crumbs until the extra moisture was absorbed} Form beef mixture into loaf {this part can be done many different ways... bread pan, free form etc.} I press mine into a 9x9 cake pan. Pour remaining tomato mixture on top. Bake at 400 for 1-1 1/2 hours {or till done - I only bake mine about 45-50 minutes because it's in the cake pan.}

Serving Suggestions

I like to serve it with Potato Wedges and a veggie {green beans, corn etc.}

Potato Wedges

1 large baking potato
2 Tbs Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt

Directions

Cut each potato into wedges; place in a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Add the remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on a baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Turn; bake 15 minutes longer or until as done as you'd like 'em!

SW Crock Pot Chicken {SW Chicken Wraps}

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can corn {drained}
1 can black beans {drained}
2 cups salsa {I use a one pint jar of my canned salsa}
Taco Seasoning to taste {optional}
Tortillas
Sour cream
Grated Cheese


Directions

Layer salsa, chicken, corn, beans & salsa in crock pot. Cook for 2-3 hours on high.


Serving Suggestions

The first couple of times I made this we ate it just how it came out. Chicken with corn/bean mixture on the side; not bad. Then one time I took the chicken out, shredded it and put it back in and mixed everything really well. Then we served it on tortillas with cheese and sour cream; YUM!!

If you are 2 years old and don't do well with a 'wrap' OR if you are not 2 and just don't want to deal with the mess... it's yummy to eat like soup with pieces of tortilla ripped up and stirred in with your cheese and sour cream.

side note: makes delish leftovers!
