Sausage Balls still to come...

This week my office held a housewarming party for Diane, whom recently purchased her first home. I had overheard sausage balls were easy to make so quickly volunteered to bring some. Little did I know that even with three ingredients things CAN go wrong. I used a recipe I found online with too much bisquick and too much cheese. This left me with a whole bunch of dry powdery sausage balls. Ok, they were edible but not so much enjoyable. So, as a lesson to those new cooks out there, the recipe does matter and always check reviews. I may stick with referrals for awhile.

Crock Pot Meatloaf


1/2 Cup Whole Milk
2 Slices White Bread
1 1/2 lb. Ground Beef
2 Eggs
1 Small Onion, Peeled
1 1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Pepper
1 Tsp. Dry Mustard
1 Can (12 oz.) Whole Tomatoes

- Place the milk and the bread in a large mixing bowl and let stand until the bread has absorbed all the milk.
- With two forks, break the bread into crumbs. Beat the ground beef into the crumbs until well mixed. Make a hollow in the center of the meat and break the eggs into it.
- Beat the eggs slightly; then grate the onion into the eggs. Add salt, pepper and mustard. Mix the eggs into the beef.
- Shape into a round cake and place in the crock pot.
- Drain the tomatoes, and place them on the meat. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours.
- Before serving, uncover the pot; turn the heat to high, and reduce the sauce. It should be thick, not thin.
