The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Mrs. Thrash's Meatloaf

Mrs. Michelle Thrash

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 C milk
1/4 tsp ground sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
3/4 C quick oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all the ingredients together.  Place into a 9x5 greased loaf pan.  Bake in the oven for 1- 1 1/4 hours.

We had this at the Wilkes Team home and it is so yummy!  The Wilkes eat this with barbecue sauce and rice.  They also said that when Hannah Wilkes was little she really like to squish all the ingredients together in the bowl.  What a great job for little hands!  

Mommy has made this recipe in bulk and then frozen the meatloaves.  Line the bread pans with parchment paper before adding the meatloaf and then freeze.  When solid, remove the meatloaf from the pans and place in freezer bags.  On cooking day, remove from freezer and place into greased bread pans in the morning.  Allow to thaw then cook as directed.  This is a great way to prep for dinner ahead of time.

Love Always,
Mommy
