Mother's Meatloaf
1 lb Ground round
1/2 lb whole hog sausage
1 potato [medium] shredded
1 8 inch carrot [shedded]
2 eggs [large, lightly beaten]
1/2 cup celery [finely diced]
1 small onion [diced]
3/4 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
1 T dried Parsley
1/2 cup Ketchup
Mix all ingredients, except ketchup, together in a large mixing bowl. Taking care to fold together, not knead, as not to toughen the meats. Place mixture in a loaf pan, pressing lightly to push out all the air pockets. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the top. Using the same spoon, spread the ketchup on the top to within 1/2 inch of the pan sides.
Place in pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for 50 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Grannie's Easy Oatmeal Pancakes
1 cup uncooked oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 T vegtable oil
2 T sugar or honey
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking power
This recipe can be shook or mixed by hand. The buttermilk and oats need to be mixed and set for at least an hour before other ingredients are added. They can also be left overnight then finished in the morning.
If you are using the shaking method, slightly beat the egg before adding it to the mixture. Be sure to use a container that has a tight fitting lid. When you have all ingredients in the container, shake with vigor for at least two minutes. If mixing by hand, stir for 3-4 minutes.
Pour 1/4 cup of mixture onto a hot greased griddle or pan, turning once when you see bubbles forming on the top of the pancake.
Add topping of your choice and enjoy.
8-10 pancakes.
