My Meatloaf

This is my spin on a meatloaf recipe that i love to make

2 pounds ground beef
3 or 4 cloves garlic
diced onion if desired
about 1 to 2 cups ketchup
3 tablespoons flax seeds (I use for the many health benefits)
one egg
1 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese it
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt
squeeze of lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Dice the garlic cloves
Mix,salt,pepper,flax seeds and garlic cloves,
add the cracker crumbles then mix in the beef, egg,
half the ketchup and squeeze of lemon, mix thoroughly.

I form a cake shape and use a desert pan to help grease drain away.
Bake approx. one hour checking not pink inside.
Finally you will add the remaining ketchup on top for the last 10 to 15 minutes.

Quick and easy chili cheese tortilla dip

This quick and easy chili, cheese, tortilla or cracker dip recipe was submitted by a good friend,

1 batch or 3 cans of favorite chili
2 blocks cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar 
1/3 cup mozzarella
salt and pepper to taste
Tortilla chips or favorite crackers
Super fast and easy to make this one,
preheat oven to 350
using a 9 by 13" pan break up 1 block of cream cheese on the bottom of pan
Next add the chili and break up the second cream cheese on top 
finish by sprinkling with salt and pepper and top with the cheddar cheese
finish with the mozzarella
bake for 30-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly brown.
I have tried this with both tortillas and Ritz crackers and love it both ways.
I also added hot dogs one day and loved that as well. So easy and kids love it.
