Warm, filling meatloaf is the classic comfort food.

With only using four ingredients (salt and pepper are freebies) which you probably already have in your fridge and pantry, this meatloaf is ready from start to finish in only 45 minutes!
Just Like Mom’s: A Quick & Easy Meatloaf Recipe That Your Kids Will LOVE
Picky Eaters? This Recipe for TaterTot Casserole is Sure To Impress Any Kid! The Ultimate Kid-Approved Meal!
Being a cook at a daycare has taught me two things:
1. even the pickiest eaters LOVE tater tots, and
2. kids like anything in a casserole. Thus… TaterTot Casserole. What I love about this recipe is that it is easy to hide vegetables inside without your kids even knowing that they are in there! Bonus. What’s the benefit for mom? Easy clean up. I used one pan, one bowl, one spoon and one casserole dish.
Gather all of your ingredients. I think that this is the most important step in making dinner – having everything out and ready to go!
Not Shown: cream cheese
Brown ground beef and season well with Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
Mix in cream cheese, sour cream and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until it is all combined and looks a grayish cream color.
Put the meat in the bottom of a casserole dish, and place your tots around the casserole dish.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Give it a little shake to let the cheese get in between the tots. Yummy cheesy potatoy goodness!
This is what it looks like from the side. Stick this baby in a 400 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
After 35 minutes it is crunchy and cheesy and oozing with deliciousness!
Enjoy your hard work and watch your kids gobble this up and probably even ask for seconds 😉

Perfect Fall Recipe: CrockPot Apple Sauce
Not much beats homemade apple sauce and making it in the crockpot will make the house smell heavenly and feel just like fall. Plus, using the crockpot is a great way to make a healthy snack without a lot of work.
Apple sauce is a wonderful snack. Its texture and sweetness make it a comfort food – reminding us of childhood. For me, it brings me back to my grandparent’s kitchen. My grandpa always had a big pot of apple sauce going. I think if he was able to try my version, he’d be impressed.
