Pan Seared Meatloaf

I keep sliced meatloaf in the freezer so it is ready for a quick meal.

Over the weekend I thawed a few slices for our meal.

Instead of just warming them up, I did this!

 

Sliced Meatloaf

Butter

Onions

Gravy

I keep sliced meatloaf in the freezer so it is ready for a quick meal

Over the weekend I thawed a few slices for our meal.  Instead of just warming them up, I did this!

I took a large frying pan and sautéed the sliced onions in butter

After a few minutes, I removed them and set them aside

I added a little more butter to the pan and added the meatloaf slices

I let them go about 5 minutes a side over medium heat

While those were crisping up, I made the gravy and side dishes

I plated the meatloaf, topped it with onions and gravy

This was a nice change from the way we usually have it

He cleaned his plate!

Hawaiian Cole Slaw

 

Finally found something similar to my Grams Slaw.  My daughter loves it!

 

8 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded carrot

1 cup chopped pineapple, drained

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

 

4 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

 

Mix cabbage, carrots and pineapple together in a bowl

Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth

Pour dressing over coleslaw mixture and toss to coat

Refrigerate at least an hour before serving so the flavors blend

 

Enjoy!
