I'm a pretty lazy cook. Recipes are the best if you don't have to measure or look up anything in a cookbook. Some of my recipes on Goldloaf follow this rule of thumb. Here is a great one to make with your child. Don't let your child touch the hamburger, of course, but the ketchup decoration is fair game. Take a 1 pound cube of tofu, two eggs and put them in a bowl with enough room to mix a bit with your hands. Cover the tofu with a mound of quick oatmeal. This will absorb the extra liquid, which is particularly important with the addition of tofu. I use about two pounds of hamburger to one pound of tofu:
Add a dash of liquid smoke. Watch out, though, not too much:
Bobo helped me make a smiley face with the ketchup, which he is pointing out for you:
Put a few yams or potatoes in the oven with the meatloaf. If you really have your act together (which I don't), you could roast some veggies in there as well:
Bake at 375 until the center of the meatloaf is 170 degrees in the center:
I often have mostly thawed hamburger, and this makes it especially crucial that I'm careful about the temperature, since the center can be quite a bit colder than the surrounding area. Do get yourself a thermometer. You don't want yourself, or especially your child, to get food poisoning.
