What’s home cooking without a meat loaf recipe? This is one of my closet favorites. Quick and cheap to make and it’s just so good. My kids never really liked it when they were growing up “Meat Loaf again?!?” Yup, and if you don’t want it, that just means more for me!

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (not instant!)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons pasta sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1 package (1.4 oz.) onion soup mix
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 375F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil

Mix the oatmeal, garlic, egg, 1/2 cup pasta sauce, onion soup mix, salt and pepper in a large bowl, then add the meats and squeeze it around with your hands until everything is good and synergized.

Place the mixture on to the baking sheet forming into a loaf. Make a 2 inch hole in the middle with your finger.

Bake for 30 minutes and remove from the oven and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of pasta sauce over the top of the loaf. Place back in the oven and keep baking until the thickest part of the loaf is about 165F, about 10-15 more minutes. Serve it up!

The brown sugar in this marinade will carmelize on the top of the steak and really give the meat a great flavor. Remember: grill it hot and fast, flip early, flip often.

Ingredients
4 sirloin steaks
1 cup bourbon
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup olive oil
1 cup brown mustard
1 cup worchestershire sauce

Directions
Mix all of the ingredients above, except the steaks in a large bowl, add the steaks and put in the fridge for 6-12 hours, then throw them on the grill. You already knew that though, right?
