As a crazy busy Chef - I'm ALL about the easy! Nope! No, "stuck up," culinary part about me whatsoever!

Anywho, 2 of my 8 year old students have dad's with terrible head colds who couldn't wait for a hot, tummy soothing supper tonight. With that, my youngest students independently decided to go with super easy, super quick Southern Comfort Food 101! Seriously, if you were born in the 60's,70's and 80's - this was the juicy meatloaf recipe you were raised on and you'll certainty remember it!

Yuppers! Juicy mini meatloaves, sweet, crispy, seasoned buttered corn, creamy mashed spuds and a thick brown gravy dinner Great job kiddos!

Just remember, there's NOTHING wrong with a delicious pre-fabed dinner! Ever! Especially if it's comforting to those who are beyond hungry and terribly sick who want something soothing and hot! It's all about the love folks! Always keep in mind - if someone wants to feed you - someone wants to love you!
