HMDWL 31 - Tonight we love the tuna melt, a touch of fancy, and the Slingbox.

Plus we get ready for our first HMDWL Mom’s Recipes Cookoff.

First up..Mom Lindley’s Taco Meatloaf!

1 TBS oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup green and red bell peppers
1 clove garlic finely minced
1 lb lean ground beef
4 oz cheddar cheese (shredded)
3/4 cup bread crumbs (Doris says make from toast)
2 TBS parsley
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp chili powder
dash of black pepper
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/2 c tomato sauce

Saute the onion and pepper and garlic in oil. After the onions are almost translucent, add all the ingredients into a large bowl. Shape into a loaf (as best as you can - not as firm as regular meat loaf). Bake at 375 for about 45 mins

WW Exchanges: 4 meats, 1 bread, 1 1/2 veggie, 1 fat (This is old skool. None of that points nonsense!)

Quickie show where we talk about how much we love buying cheap eyeglasses online, snooze bars, and Sheila’s Dream Bars.

Here’s Rob’s recipe for Caramel Bars, we think they may be a good substitute if the Sheila’s aren’t available near you.

3/4 c. butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1 c flour
1 c oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
32 caramels
3 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp milk
1/2 c chocolate chips

Mix together first six ingredients. Put 3/4 of this crust mixture into a 9×13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 mins. Melt caramels, butter and milk. Pour caramel mixture onto baked crust. Sprinkle on chocolate chips (this is where I think you could add some coconut). Sprinkle/crumble on remaining crust mixture. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Taken from the Alta United Methodist Women’s Cookbook - Alta, Iowa.

Or you can just go to your local Potbelly’s Sandwich Works and ask for Shelia.
