Now, without further ado, here’s this week’s menu:

MeatLoaf Balls

1. Preheat your oven to 350* degrees F
2. Start by mixing together your hamburger, milk, crushed saltines, salt, pepper, onion powder, worcestershire sauce, and 2 eggs into a large bowl. That is your meat mixture.
3. In a separate bowl mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard together. That is your sauce mixture. 
4. Place 2-4 tablespoons of your sauce mixture into your meat mixture. Stir well. 
5. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Then add your meat mixture, filling to the top of each cup. (Don’t overfill!)
6. Once all your meat is placed into the muffin pan, add sauce to each one. 
7. Bake for 30-45 minutes.

Ultimate Pork Patties

1. Grill your pork patties until cooked to 145* degrees F.
2. While they are cooking on the grill, cook one egg per sandwich in a skillet. We prefer our eggs over easy, but cook to your liking!
3. On a bun place your pork patty, egg, and favorite BBQ sauce and enjoy!

Pulled Pork 

Use the slow-cooker to do the hard work, but don't forget to brown your pork first for extra flavor! The full recipe with a homemade seasoning blend can be found at Kim's Cravings.
