I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

BBQ Meatloaf

1/2 c. gr. or red bell pepper
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1 1/2 lbs. 85% lean ground beef
3/4 c. quick or old-fashioned oats
1/2 c. bbq sauce, divided
1 egg
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Combine pepper, onion, beef, oats, egg, 1/4 c. bbq sauce, thyme, salt and pepper
Mix lightly but thoroughly.
Shape mixture into loaf
Bake @ 350 50 minutes
spread remaining bbq sauce over meatloaf
Bake an additional 10 min. or until meat is no longer pink in the center
Internal temperature should reach 160 degrees.
Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
( I usually use extra bbq sauce on the top and my kids like to put more sauce on their plates)
