Teaching Cooking

I have taught basic cooking to my seven children and to classes of elementary children. When my youngest daughter wanted to learn, I found that taking the recipes and making them into a step-by-step format made it easier for her, so here is a blog to hopefully make cooking easier for the beginner.

Meatloaf Potato Bake

I experimented with new recipe on David the other day.  He loved it, so I'm posting it!  The measurements that I am posting are meant for two servings.

Potato part:
     Thinly slice two medium size potatoes.  Put them in a zip-locking quart-size bag.  Add:
      1 Tbsp. of olive oil
      1/2 tsp. salt
      1/4 tsp pepper
      1/4 tsp garlic powder
      1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese

Mix these in the bag by shaking it around until it all seems mixed.  Put them in the bottom of a 1 quart glass baking dish and pat them down so they create a smooth top.

Meatloaf part:
       1/2 pound lean ground beef
       1/2 tsp salt
       1/4 tsp pepper
       1/4 cup rolled oats
       1 egg

Mix all ingredients well.  Gently pat it on top of the potatoes and make sure you cover the entire area of the potatoes.  Bake for 1/2 hour at 350 degrees.  Let it sit for five minutes before you serve it.

Makes enough for 2 people.
