On winter days, it's very hard to say where the inspiration to make dinner comes from. If you're like me, you just don't want to cook when it's so cold outside, but you sure can eat! The solution here? Easy fixins....

The best thing about winter days is that a hot meal is more than just appreciated, it's a have-to thing. One of my winter meal suggestions is meatloaf because it's hot, easy, and goes with everything.

I'll share my recipe with you, but if you use it, you have to tell me if you liked it!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
2 eggs
3/4 cups smashed all to pieces cornflakes
salt and pepper
ketchup
3/4 cups diced onions
garlic powder
a dash of oregano
a few splashes of worchestershire sauce (yeah, I spelled that wrong on purpose)
dash of thyme
soul seasoning, just a bit
dash of brown sugar (like 2 tbsp.)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, crack two eggs, and add everything except the meat, brown sugar, and ketchup. Beat the ever loving snot out of it, cause if you don't you may as well call for take out lol.

2. Add the meat. With your HANDS (cause a mixer or a spoon just doesn't do the job), gob everything together and mix well. Okay, now go wash your hands. Squirt like 1/4 Cup Ketchup in there and use your hands to mash it all to pieces again. Form your big ball of meat and things into a loaf shape and place on your baking dish.

3. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes on 350 degrees.

4. In the meantime, mix about 1/2 Cup ketchup and 1/4 cup brown sugar together in a small bowl. When you take your meatloaf out of the oven, slather it all on top like you're icing a cake. Bake for about ten to fifteen more minutes. Then, you're done and you just gotta take care of the gigantor mess you left in your kitchen. Oh, and wash your hands again...

Special side note: The best thing you could ever serve with meatloaf is mashed potatoes, but here's a great idea...add sour cream instead of milk to make your mashed potatoes with. Once mixed, then you could add chives, or some garlic and onion powder. Add green beans as another side, and you've got a meal that your kids might actually EAT. That means quiet time at the table, which means Mom can relax for ten minutes at the least!
