Little Cheddar Meatloaves

I got this recipe from my friend Vicki.  It has become a favorite because these little loaves do not have to cook as long as regular meatloaf.

1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 tsp salt
1 pound lean ground beef
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp mustard

In a bowl, beat egg and milk.  Stir in cheese, oats, onion and salt.  Add beef and mix well.  Shape into 8 loaves; place in a greased 9x13 pan.  Combine ketchup, brown sugar and mustard; spoon over loaves.  Bake uncovered at 350F for 45 minutes.

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is Robert's most favorite cookie right now.  They are pretty addictive!
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and egg until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until moistened. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop by tablespoonfuls on to lightly greased cookie sheets.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges start to brown. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
