I Dare You To Eat It

Fresh Ingredients

2 lb. lean ground beef

2 eggs

Storage Ingredients

Stove Top Stuffing Mix, for chicken or herb variety (6 oz. box)

1 can evaporated milk (12 oz.)

1/2 cup barbecue sauce or ketchup

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients and shape into an oval loaf in a sprayed or oiled 9 x 13 inch baking dish. If desired, top with additional barbecue sauce, ketchup, or chili sauce. Bake for 1 hour.

This recipe (Kraftfoods.com adaptation) is the quickest way I know to whip up a classic family meal, using ingredients from both a three-month supply and long-term food storage. Instant mashed potatoes and canned corn are perfect sides and take only minutes to prepare.

We also love to use the leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches. Just microwave a couple slices topped with your favorite cheese and serve between toasted bread spread with a little mayo, ketchup and mustard. Topped off with pickles and tomato, I’m NOT thinkin’ Arby’s.
