It sounds yummy and something my kids would love. Thanks

Mmm... that sounds delicious! Definitely sounds like my contribution to Thanksgiving, this year.

This is a crockpot recipe for some yummy, easy meatloaf that Mel and I enjoy:

2 lbs. Hamburger Meat
1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 Eggs
2/3 cup Quick Oats (from the Oatmeal Aisle)
1/4 cup ketchup

Mix all of the ingredients together, leaving just a bit of ketchup to the side. Form the mixture into a loaf and place into a crockpot. Spread the remaining ketchup on top of the loaf. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Serve with mashed potatoes and you have a rockin' meal for a cold, wet day!

** You can also substitute BBQ sauce for ketchup if you're in a "bang" kind of mood, or if you're out of ketchup like I was!**

Aight, here are two - counte 'em TWO - pasta recipes.

Classic Spaghetti with Marinara Meat Sauce

1 lb. ground beef (or turkey or italian sausage)
1 chopped medium-large onion
1-2 tablespoons garlic (depending on how much you like it!)
1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounce)
1 can tomato sauce (15 ounce)
1/4 of a carrot (about 3 inches of carrot - HAHA) peeled and finely chopped or grated
1/4 of a celery stalk (again with the 3 inch joke) finely chopped
1-2 teaspoons of dry oregano
1-2 teaspoons of dry parsley
1 teaspoon of dry basil
1 teaspoon of dry thyme - chopped
(Whenever i use green peppers for something, i save the top and finely chop it and add it to the mix to add a little sweetness)
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef, onions, and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add in the two tomato products, the carrot, and the celery (and green pepper if using). Add 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oregano and parsley, and all of the basil and thyme, as well as the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer (covered) for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionaly. After 10 minutes, taste and add more of the oregano, parsley, salt, and/or pepper depending on how you like it (i like a very strong herby flavor to mix in with the 'maters). Toss with a pound of cooked spaghetti/mostaccoli/rigatoni/whatever kind of noodle you like!




Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken and Sun-dried tomatoes (its a hell of a lot easier than i thought it would be!)

2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5-6 chopped/shredded oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped COOKED chicken (or shrimp is good too!) (i usually just grill the chicken and then chop it up)
1 teaspoon dry basil
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add the cream, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and allow to continue boiling gently (uncovered) until the mixture begins to thicken (using a whisk on this part helps a ton), usually about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken, tomatoes, and basil. Heat through (about another 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Add about 3/4 lb cooked fettuccini noodles and toss to combine. Garnish with parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings (but i'm a fatty and can eat the whole thing by myself
(if you don't like the chicken/shrimp/sun-dried tomatoes part, then just add in half of the basil before adding the cheese)

Okay, here's some of our favorites!

Chicken Noodle Casserole

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teasponn pepper
2 cups bite-sized chicken pieces (cooked)
1 8-oz box thin noodles, cooked by package directions and drained

Topping:
1 cup soft white bread crumbs mixed with 3 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over moderate heat and blend in flour; slowly stir in broth and milk, add bouillon cube, salt and pepper. Heat, stirring, until mixture thickens. Off heat, mix in all remaining ingredients, except topping. Spoon into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish, sprinkle with topping and bake uncovered 1/2 hour.

About 555 calories per serving if made with chicken, 575 per serving if made with turkey.

I use wide egg noodles instead of thin noodles.

Would love to hear some great Turkey day side dishes

We're pretty traditional at our house, Chrissy. Though here are a couple of non-traditional things I do to the traditional foods sometimes that are really good.

For mashed potatoes, I cook the potatoes getting them ready to mash. While they're cooking, I melt half a stick of butter in a frying pan and slowly saute thinly sliced onions (about 1-2 inch long pieces) until they're limp, not browned. When the potatoes are ready to mash, instead of adding milk and butter, I add a little chicken broth and the onion butter mixture. OMG they're good.

I make traditional cornbread stuffing and instead of putting it in the turkey or in a separate dish to cook, I wait until the turkey is about an hour from being done, take it out of the oven, and put the stuffing all around the turkey, so it soaks up the juices as it cooks. I can't tell you how much better that is. It's wildly good.

The only really non traditional thing I'm making this year that I usually don't make is roasted asparagus. Get two bunches, break off the ends just by bending the spears till they snap. (They always snap in the right places.) Toss them in olive oil to coat them. Spread them out on a cookie sheet. Salt and pepper to taste, and grate fresh parmasan on top. Put in a 410-425 oven for 10 minutes just before you serve dinner, and OMG they are the best thing EVER.
