Directions:
Meatloaf
1.) You will begin by getting a mixing bowl, getting 1.5 pounds of burger, and breaking down using your hands...little tip: wet your hands and break down the meat with said hands. You will then break one egg and mix in along with 1 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, and then mix in and add cheese for the first meatloaf. Set to the side.
2.) Repeat the same process except this time have 1 green bell pepper and 1 yellow onion finely chopped and mix it in along with an egg and 1 1/2 cups of breadcrumbs.
3.) Shape both meatloaf into a rectangle, and then begin to bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
4.) As your meatloaf is cooking begin by cooking your other sides.
Au Gratin Potatoes
1.) Begin by slicing peeling your golden potatoes and placing them in a bowl of cold water. Once all are peeled, take them out of the bowl and then continue by slicing them, and placing them in a bowl of new cold water to avoid them to begin oxidating. once all are cut drain them, pat dry, and lay them out in a pan in lines accordingly.
2.) Mix your milk and cans of soup and pour into a baking dish, lightly season with salt and pepper, and lightly top with a layer of mild cheddar cheese, then bake at also 350 degrees for approximately 30-45 minutes.
Green Beans
1.) Use the canned green beans you did on your own and you can place them in a crockpot or instant pot if you have one, if you don't have one either use a regular pot, or also use the good old microwave, pour in a container of chicken broth, fatback (chopped ham or bacon....you choose), and cook them for 1-1 1/2 hours and stir occasionally, (note: If you use instant pot you are unable to stir occasionally, however, they will be fine if not stirred just be sure plenty of liquid is in the instant pot when cooking. ) (In my opinion, I would honestly take the microwave option, put in a bowl, with butter, salt, and pepper, microwave 2 minutes and then taking it out to enjoy them
Corn
2.) Cook that corn the easiest way to make your canned corn is by putting it in a pan putting it on medium to high heat and allowing it to cook out add butter and stir in allowing it to melt throughout the corn and lightly season with both salt and pepper. If you prefer to use canned corn from a store quick and simple way to cook is by putting it in a bowl with butter, salt, and pepper, microwaving it for 2 minutes, and then taking it out and enjoying it. In my opinion, I would honestly do the easiest way which is by microwave saves you time.
By now you should have all sides done and now just waiting for the yummy meatloaf to be finished. Once you have it finished you will then plate it along with all other sides and enjoy them.
