This easy meatloaf recipe is the best thing since sliced bread (Oh crap, that's bad now!! Forgot about carbs). Oh, well. It's still good. So eat it. &nbsp;

The Easiest and BEST Meatloaf You Will Ever Make

box Stove Top Stuffing ((any flavor))

beef

ketchup ((or more if you'd like))

water ((or a little more if your beef is super lean))

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bread loaf pan.

In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients, but set aside half of the ketchup for later.

You guessed it, now fill the pan with your mixture.&nbsp;

Top it with the remaining ketchup and spread it evenly over the top. You can also use BBQ sauce, chili sauce or a combination of sauces. Whatever.

Bake for 45-60 minutes. Every oven varies so don't blame me if you screw it up.

Enjoy! I'd wait a few minutes before slicing it up. Serve with mashed potatoes, veggies or anything thing else you'd like! Yum Yum in my Tum Tum.

10-12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

red onions,

Tip into the slow cooker, then swirl 100ml water around the pan and pour this in as well.

Add the chipotle, passata, barbecue sauce, sugar and lime juice, then season and stir. Cover and cook for 6-8 hrs until the chicken is really tender. Using two forks, shred the chicken through the sauce. Serve in buns, taco shells, jacket potatoes or over rice, with coriander leaves, chillies and guacamole, if you like.
