I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Cheesy Chicken Meatloaf

Lean chicken is used in this meatloaf giving it a savory twist to the traditional beef meatloaf. Parmesan and aged cheddar give it a sharp and cheesy flavour profile.

Ingredients:

3/4 lb ground chicken

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded sharp, old cheddar

1/3 cup chopped spinach

4 tsps minced garlic

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dry oregano

1 tsp parsley

salt and pepper to taste

1/3 cup tomato sauce

Mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, cheddar, spinach, garlic and onion together. In a separate bowl mix the egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper together then combine with the meat mixture. Form into a loaf shape and place in a baking dish larger than the meatloaf so that the sides can brown while cooking. Spoon the tomato sauce over the top and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°F. Rest 10 minutes before slicing. Served here with a scoop of russet and sweet potato mash.
Serves 4
