HA. they also say no rest for the wicked so I guess I must fall into the wicked category. Lets see it started actually yesterday evening. Went to bed at 9:30 (yes what a night owl I am). Ronan decided to see how he could test mommies patience by getting up every hour and I do mean EVERY hour last night. A couple of times he even stayed awake for an hour or more. Finally went to sleep for a while about 5 am. Did you know there are only infomericals on at 4 in the morning? i very nearly found myself calling some of those phone numbers!
Judd took the boys upstairs about 6:45 and let me sleep a little. Then it was laundry, mopping, dusting, vacuuming and finishing making the baby food I started yesterday. I also am making Meatloaf Ole for dinner. Judd (thanks much honey) watched the boys Wed evening so I could go to Central Coast Culinary for a cooking class. The last one I'd went to was with my friend Cheryl when I was pregnant with Ronan, so about 9 months ago. Anyway the recipe is really good. I had it prior to this class but lost it and wanted to take this class so I could get it again.
Here it is:
Mexican Meatloaf Ole
1 pound ground beef
1 pound mild pork sausage
1 cup crushed plain pork rinds
1 can (4 1/2 oz) mild diced green chilis
1 med onion, finely chopped**
8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, cubed or shredded
3/4 cup salsa (you choose hotness )
1 egg
2 or 3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350. Wash hands, combine all ingredients in a really big bowl. Knead until its thoroughly blended. Dump it out on a clean broiler rack or baking pan or cookie sheet. Form into a loaf. It will be big, about 3 inches thick. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Let rest, covered, about 5-10 minutes before cutting.
You can also use 2 bread loaf pans. Change baking time to 45 min and test with meat thermometer - should read 120-145 degrees
** make sure the onion is chopped fine. Big pieces will make the loaf fall apart when you cut it.
Enjoy.
I need a nap.
