Sundried Tomato Meatloaf


Meatloaf.  Yawn, right?  Not this meatloaf! This is my all-time, absolute favorite version of meatloaf!  Here's a little back story on how I got this recipe.
A few years ago a friend asked me if I'd like to go with her to one of those fix yourself some multiple entree's, pack 'em up and take 'em home  and cook 'em  kind of places.  I went.  It was fun.  It was good. But expensive.  One of the dishes I made was this meatloaf.   After serving that dish, I was in love with meatloaf!  
Ok I'll try to cut to the chase.  I got a notice from this place that they were closing and had some of their dishes for sale.  I called them to see if one of those were these meatloaves.  I was in luck!  They did have some, but it seems that it was one of the more popular dishes so I rushed right down.  I bought three.  I think I left one there.  (remember, I said they were expensive )    So, in an act of bravery, I asked.  "Ya know, since you guys are closing, would you consider selling that recipe"?   They said they could give away one recipe!  WooHoo!!!   I was now the proud owner of the recipe!  I made it this week and thought of you all.  
So, I want to share  (cuz that's how I roll)
Without further delay, here's the recipe!  Do try it and let me know what you think!


You're going to need:
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella
3/4 cup basil
3/4 cup onions, chopped
1 scoop ketchup (I figure that was about 1/4 cup)
1 tsp garlic
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 eggs

Mix all ingredients, form into loaf  and into pan.  Then into a 350 degrees oven for 1 hour.

Enjoy!

Ham and Swiss Grits Pie


Remember a couple days ago I promised to show you what to do with those "Gussied-Up Grits" ?
Well, today is the day!  If you like grits you're going to love this.  You might even get a standing ovation, like I got when I served it to hubby.   (I'm just sayin'....)

Ok, after you've made your Gussied-Up Grits, let them stand for 10 minutes and then lightly beat 2 eggs and stir into the grits.   Pour into a greased 10 inch deep pie plate.   Bake at 350 for 20 minutes and remove.


Now you're going to need:
1/2 lb diced cooked ham (actually for this meal, I had some thicker sliced deli ham in the 'frige, and that's what I used)
4 green onions
1/2 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup swiss cheese


Saute ham and 4 chopped green onions until the onions are tender.  Layer the ham mixture evenly over the grits "crust".
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees

Whisk together milk and the 6 eggs; pour over ham mixture.  Sprinkle  swiss cheese evenly over the egg mixture.

Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.  Let stand 10 minutes or so before serving.   This heats up really well the next day too!


I haven't tried it yet, but I would like to see if it freezes well.  If it does work out, this would be great to have in the freezer for holiday time!  There just has never been any left-overs!
