This entire meal will take about 20 minutes of prep time, then 1 hour of oven time, during which you can do other things, like read. Or workout. Or throw a load of laundry in.
This is a basic meatloaf recipe. Nothing fancy, because that's the way the boys like it. The sauce I put on the top is my mom's "secret" recipe. Ingredients: 1.5 lb ground beef 1 cup milk 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 small onion, diced or grated (I learned to grate onions in Turkey. It's great for kids who don't like onion bits in their food.) 1/2 cup bread crumbs (use gluten-free, or use GF oats) 1 egg Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 Tbsp mustard, and 2 Tbsp brown sugar. Barbecue sauce works, too. Mix everything together. I often use my hands and knead it like bread dough. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, then put the topping mixture on and bake for another 30 minutes. While the meatloaf is baking, put a few scrubbed potatoes in the oven for baked potatoes. Maple-y Acorn Squash Boats: Cut an acorn squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and place flesh-side down in about 1/2 inch of water in a baking dish. Let it bake for the first 30 minutes with the meatloaf. After 30 minutes, turn the squash over, empty the water from the pan, and add a pat of butter, a sprinkle of salt, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Bake for 30 minutes more.
