Surprise Meatloaf Meatballs (individual sized meatloaves)

We have enjoyed reading through the comments about the celebrations you all enjoy,
be it the birth of a baby, a wedding coming up, return to health, family gatherings, Easter,
Christmas, Thanksgiving and more! I, for one, was touched by the person who commented
about reunions being the best kind of celebrations!
We wish we could make all of you winners of the book!
The winner of our draw is someone who is
 looking forward to her son's high school graduation this year.
Congratulations, Virginia!
We will need your contact information.
Please email foreverythingaseason@gmail.com
within the next three days,
after which time we will draw another name if
we do not hear from you.



This is my meatloaf recipe switched up to look a bit more kid-friendly. With this slight face lift, one  cannot call it a meatloaf any more. It's the cook's secret.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 lbs lean hamburger
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 – 2 tsp onion flakes
• 1/3 cup milk
•  8 -3/4 square-inch square cheese cubes

topping:

• ¼ c ketchup
• ¼ c BBQ sauce
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Method:

1.  Mix all ingredients, except cheese.
2. Divide into 8 balls. Squeeze a piece of cheese into each, shaping well around it.
3. Place meatballs on parchment paper lined pan.
4. Mix glaze and coat meatballs. (you can refrigerate at this point for several hours.
5. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.
6. Serve with wild rice, macaroni and cheese or scalloped potatoes and steamed vegetables.

 Happy Family Day to those living in Alberts, Saskatchewan and Ontario!
(And everyone else as well!)
