Lucky can’t wait to dig in LOL!
The holidays are always a bit hard. We have no family nor friends in Alberta. It’s quiet, no one comes to visit. No where for us to go. We have gotten used to it over the years. The kids have gotten used to it. We do our best with what we have.

Mini Meatloaves » RecipeCollage.com » October 8, 2024
I’ve been wanting meatloaf lately. Haven’t made it in many months. Decided today was the day. Took the kids out skating for a few hours this afternoon. I’m pretty wiped. Wanted something easier tonight yet hearty.
1CUP crushed cornflakes
1 large onion, cut
2 lb ground beef
2 eggs
3 garlic cloves, minced
1TSP Worcestershire Sauce
1/4CUP ketchup
1TSP dried parsley
1TSP dried thyme
1TSP each black pepper & salt

Mix all together. Very well. Instead of making a loaf I wanted to use my oyster cast iron pan. I sure love this pan! I made a flattened circle with meat at bottom of bowl and decided into 12 pieces so they would be all pretty even.

I pat balls in my hands and formed them into like a football shape. Squeezed ketchup on-top.
