When you bake a meatloaf and want to glaze the top (which we almost always do), this is the stuff. Came from an ancient and yellowed Betty Crocker Cookbook, but they did half this recipe, which is nothing like enough for a standard loaf-pan-sized meatloaf. We often do twice this recipe, but we’re not like the other children.
Ingredients
½ C ketchup
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp ground yellow mustard seeds
Directions
Grind mustard seeds
Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly
Paint onto top of meatloaf a couple times while it’s baking, and again as you slice and serve the meatloaf.
Made some enchilada sauce the other day, and my sweetie wanted to know what went into it, so here’s the #recipe before I forget.
Ingredients:
1 qt tomatoes, fresh or frozen
3-6 chiles, pulled off the ristra, stems & seeds removed
2 tsp Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken flavor
1 tsp onion powder
pinch salt
1 tsp smoked paprika or ½ tsp liquid smoke
Directions:
Throw everything into a blender, and blend until smooth.
Put into a pan, and simmer until it’s reduced down to about a pint (by half)
Enjoy
Edited to add: Our rule for the chiles is “about one chile per medium-large tomato.” That seems to work out to four-five per quart, but we need to make sure we’re not missing seeds at that rate.
