Magic Missile Meatloaf

1 lb. extra lean ground beef

1/4-1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs

1/2 tsp. salt/pepper (each)

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 Lg. Onion chopped or 1 whole small onion

1 15oz. can of tomato sauce (reserve about 1/4 of the can)

1 egg (optional)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine by hand, thoroughly. Once all ingredients are incorporated form into a tight loaf shape. Place in a glass baking dish that has been lightly coated with a cooking spray. Make a shallow “ditch” along the top of the meatloaf with your hand. Pour the remaining sauce into this valley. Gently spread some of that sauce over the sides of the meatloaf. Spring with more salt and pepper. Bake at 350 to 375 degrees for at least 1 hour or until the temperature in the middle reaches 165 degrees.

Griffon’s Garlic and Red Wine Sauteed Green Beans

16 oz of fresh or frozen whole green beans

4 oz sliced almonds

1 clove garlic – grated

1/4 c. Red Wine – your choice

1-2 tbs. butter

Directions:

Place butter and grated garlic in the bottom of a large flat skillet. Cook over med-hi heat until the garlic begins to roast. Add the sliced almonds and cook until they are browned. Add the green beans. If you are using frozen green beans make sure they are thawed. Once the green beans are heated through then add the wine. Cook over medium heat until the wine has had a chance to reduce; approximately 10 minutes. Serve hot.
