I made big pots of Chili, then big pot of Ham Shanks and Beans and then 2 - 2 1/2lbs of meat loafs, this week. Meat loafs consist of 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck, 1/2lb ground deer, 1/2 lb Sweet Italian sausage, 2 tbs Worcestershire, 1 TBS minced Garlic, 2 eggs, 20 Hi Ho crackers crushed. 1/2 onion diced, 1 bell pepper diced, 1 Jalapeno diced, 1/2 cup of milk. black pepper and a little red pepper to taste. Baked till 170* Turns out great. We have it all for dinner, the day we make it, then freeze in 2 people servings for future meals. Meat loaf goes in the refrigerator till the next day then sliced up and put in foodsaver bags. Besides the meatloaf sandwiches.
