HappyNew Year!!!

Well the New Year is here-Laura worked today till six. I promised her Dad would have meatloaf and Dill Potato Wedges waiting for her. The first thing she said was we need that recipe-so here is the first recipes posted for the year!

Boston Market Meatloaf

• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons kraft barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 lbs lean ground sirloin
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 dash garlic powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
3. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring often, and then remove it from the heat.
4. In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the meat.
5. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to work the sauce into the meat until it is very well combined.
6. Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, salt, onion powder and ground pepper.
7. Use the wooden spoon or your hands to work the spices and flour into the meat.
8. Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two sections which allows the fat to drain, but if you don't have one of those a regular loaf pan will work).
9. Wrap foil over the pan and place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
10. After 30 minutes, take the meatloaf from the oven, remove the foil and, if you aren't using a meatloaf pan, drain the fat.
11. Using a knife, slice the meatloaf all the way through into 8 slices while it is still in the pan.
12. This will help to cook the center of the meatloaf.

Boston Market Dill Potato Wedges

8 red potatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced fine
1/4 pound butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
2 tsp. dried dill weed
Wash potatoes well and boil until barely soft. Drain, and cut potatoes in wedges. Melt 1 stick of butter, in large frying pan and saute garlic for about one minute. Do not burn the garlic!
Add potatoes and the rest of the seasonings. Toss the potatoes in the butter until they are coated.  Pan-fry the potatoes until lightly brown.
