Become a Confident Cook: COMFORT FOOD

With just a few basic ingredients you can create a meatloaf for dinner and use the leftovers for sandwiches. The recipe is the same as the Meatball recipe but is shaped into a loaf and covered with a tomato relish.

DO AHEAD: mix everything together, shape into loaves the day before, chill in the refrigerator and pop into the oven for dinner the next night. Add 10 minutes to the baking time to compensate for the colder meat mixture, or set the uncooked loaves out for a few minutes before baking and bake at the times listed below.

Who can resist this warm, cheesey goodness? With the cold, rainy weather, I always turn to comfort food recipes. This mac and cheese casserole is so satisfying. Don't we all have a mac and cheese story? The best you ever tasted or the worst? Do you remember the first time you tried to make this dish? How did it turn out? I have searched for and experimented with all kinds of mac and cheese recipes and found this one to be the easiest and tastiest basic recipe. Try it yourself and let me know how it turns out.
