Meat Loaf is one of my favorite comfort food. Especially today I wanted to make this easy yummy dinner with no cooking and that all the cooking be done by my oven. :-)
Chicken and Potato are my favorites and this dinner was a nice combination all together.
MEAT LOAF RECIPE
-------------------------
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb Ground Chicken
2 Italian Hot Turkey Sausages
2 Eggs1/4 cup Whole wheat bread crumbs
salt as needed
1tsp Chili powder
1/2 tsp Pepper powder
1 tsp Cumin powder
1/4 tsp Red Pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped green peppers
3 tbsp Ketchup
Glaze:
------
1/4 cup Ketchup
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
--------
1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2.. Remove the casing my the Italian sausages and mix all the ingredients in a bowl. (Don't mix too much)
3. Spray a Loaf pan ( I used medium sized loaf pan) with cooking oil spray and even out the chicken mixture and on top brush a thin layer of the glaze and bake this meatloaf for about 60-90 mins or until the glaze is little bit browned.
4. After it's done, remove the loaf from oven and let is sit for about 5-10 mins and then slice it and serve warm. You need to rest any kind of meat after you cook to keep the juices intact else, if you cut the slices as soon as you take it out of the oven, the juices all will run out and the meat will be left with no taste.
POTATO CAKE RECIPE
-----------------------------
Ingredients:
------------
3 medium sized Potatoes thinly sliced ( I used red skinned potatoes, you can use any potatoes of your choice)
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 tbps Olive Oil
Method:
--------
1. Preheat the oven to 350F (I used the same oven to cook both the meatloaf and the potato cake to cook at the same time)
2. In a bowl mix all the ingredients.
3. In a Non-Stick pan, arrange the potato slices intactly and bake it for about 30-40 mins or until golden brown, cooking each side for about 15-20 mins.
Note: To flip the potato cake to the next side, place a place oven the top of the pan and turn it upside down as fast as you can and slide the potato cake which is now on the place back to the pan and bake it again.
