Meatballs / Meatloaf Mixture

Last week a picked up my order of hamburger from Zaycon foods!

I wish I could get fresh (not frozen) beef from my father-in-law but that’s not how they do it where we get the cows processed.  I love Zaycon foods, their meat is just as good as my father-in-laws!

You might think I’m crazy for getting 40lbs of hamburger, that doesn’t come packaged. At times I think I am! I love having easy meals ready to go in my freezer. Sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to thaw, make meatballs then bake them.

For me it is easier to just take one day and mix everything together (bake if needed) and package it for when I need an easy/fast meal!

This is what i made this time

• 24 lbs of meatballs
• 8 lbs of meatloaf
• 8 lbs of hamburger patties

This recipe is so easy and delicious! I often find my kiddos sneaking into the meatballs that are cooling! 

I love having easy dinners in the freezer.

When I make these I use Gluten Free Old Fashion oats and put them in a food processor to break the oats into smaller pieces. If you don’t want to use oats, sub 3 cups bread crumbs. 

What do you use meatballs in? Here are a few of my go to meatball dinner ideas.

• Slow Cooker BBQ Cranberry Meatballs –can be used as a appetizer
• Spaghetti and Meatballs
• Meatballs and Mashed potatoes

Tater Tot Nachos (“Totchos”)

If I forget or don’t have time to put something in the crock pot on Sundays, we usually end up eating cereal for dinner.  I recently found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it would be a good one for the kids to help make, and it was looking dismally like a “cereal or starve” Sunday last night, so we decided to throw together a pan of “totchos” for dinner.

They were super easy to make, and they tasted pretty darned good, too.  Fun for the kids; I think they could probably practically do this one all by themselves!

Ham & Swiss Sliders (aka “Funeral Sandwiches”)

I ignored this recipe entirely the first several times I saw it on Pinterest, because I thought the whole idea of “marinating” a sandwiches was a recipe for soggy grossness.  But I just kept seeing people pinning them, so I decided to try them, and my entire family absolutely loves these little sandwiches.  They are even good leftover, so I usually make a double batch.

I like to add poppyseeds and dried minced onion to the marinade.  They add extra texture.

Asian Style Nachos

Asian?  Nachos? 

Mmmm-hmmm. 

They looked too pretty not to try, and they tasted too darn good not to share.
