Today I am swapping blogs with Lena from Mom2MemphisAndRuby .  I am so happy to welcome Lena here. Her blog is great and she posts some great tutorials and posts about parenting and her cute kids.  Please make sure that you go check out her blog and check out my post for Chicken Crescent Bundles there.  Here's Lena and her Meatloaf recipe:


My name is Lena and I blog over at Mom2MemphisAndRuby!I am very excited to be visiting Alyssa here today as part of the Grow.Swap.Share Blog Swap organized by Julie & Carrie!

Here's the deal, though.I don't cook (Yikes! And I have to guest post on a recipe blog!?)It's not that I haven't tried... I just usually suck at it.I'm not being modest either!  I promise I'm just not cut out for the kitchen!
{LUCKILY, the hubs is an awesome chef so we eat really well!}
I did try a recipe once that got some pretty good reviews from the fam!It's "My Meatloaf"and it's one of our faves!{especially on a cold, rainy & lazy Sunday}
I've tweaked it a tad, but I thought I would share it with you today!

What you'll need
lean ground beef (I use about 2lbs)2 cups of bran cereal2/3 cups BBQ sauce (I use Kraft Light)2 eggs1 onion1 red pepper1 carrot
heat the oven to 375Mix cereal, BBQ sauce & eggs until well blended, then add the rest of the ingredients



I use a nice glass pan and coat the top of the meatloaf with more BBQ sauce! So yummmmm!

Bake for 1 hour, and enjoy!This week I served it with cripsy french fries & vegetables (not shown! ha!), but it's also great with rice or homemade mashed potatoes!  I love it because it's a great way to sneak in veggies & bran without anyone really noticing! And it's EASY!

Please excuse this lame attempt at a recipe post...but DO try out this recipe and let me know what you think of it!
