MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Gently combine the pork and turkey by hand in a large bowl. Stir together the oats, 2 tablespoons of the ketchup, 1/2 tablespoon of the mustard, the soy sauce, oregano, egg whites, onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until combined. Add the oat mixture to the meat mixture and combine by hand until just incorporated.
• Form the meatloaf mixture into 4 small football-shaped loaves, about 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick, and place on the prepared pan. Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1/2 tablespoon mustard in a small bowl. Brush some of the ketchup mixture on each meatloaf.
• Bake until fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Garnish with additional fresh oregano if desired, and serve.

• Let meatloaf sit for 15 minutes before slicing and serve with your favorite side dishes.

MAMA'S MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Some cooks put all ingredients into a loaf pan "raw", but I prefer to sauté the onions first to take the "bite" out of them.
• Drain and set aside to cool.
• Into a large bowl place the ground beef, bread crumbs, catsup, egg, Worcestershire sauce and parsley.
• Add the sautéed onions to this mixture.
• Wash your hands and delve into this mixture like a mad man, squish it between your fingers and mix it very well.
• Form a loaf in a baking dish, leaving at least 1-inch around the sides so fat can drain off.
• Bake at 350°F about 45 minutes or until done.
• Serve this delicious meatloaf as is or with my recipe for curry sauce.

MEMAW'S COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash greens in a sinkful of cold water.
• Break stems off an inch or two below leaf and discard.
• Tear/shred the leaves by hand and place them in a large cooking pot.
• Add bacon, 1/4 cup of sugar, and about 2 tablespoons of salt.
• Fill pot with water up to about 1 1/2 inches from top of pot.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally (water will cook off, so add more if necessary).
• After 2 hours, add more sugar (not more than 1/4 cup; I usually add slightly less) and more salt to taste.
• Fill the pot back to about half-full with water.
• Cover, boil, reduce heat, simmer, and stir occasionally for another 1 1/2-2 hours (if more water is needed, add only enough to keep about three fingers worth in the pot).
• Serve with a slotted spoon to drain away water and eat'em up (some folks eat'em with tabasco or pepper sauce).
• These are great as a side dish with fried chicken, country ham, meatloaf, turkey, roast, or as a companion to a big bowl of beans.
• I usually enjoy the leftovers with nothing but a pan of cornbread.

A FAVORITE MEATLOAF (1960)

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients together then add the meat and mixing lightly (so you don't toughen it). You can shape into a loaf on a cookie sheet (with sides) lined with parchment paper. Cook uncovered at 350º for 1 hour if using (cookie sheet) or so. For the last ½ hour of cooking slather on Ketchup which thickens during cooking time and tastes great
