Comfort food

My husband told me the other day that he really enjoys my cooking. Then he said he would love it if I made more "comfort" foods. He has a list of foods that he grew up with and it is pretty much what I grew up with too.
Today I spent time running errands and ended up not getting home until almost 5. Not having a lot of time to prepare something I decided to go with some comfort food.
Dinner Menu for tonight:

Meatloaf
Mashed potatoes
Sweet green peas
Homemade gravy
and some store bought rolls


Meatloaf:
Ground Beef
diced onions
diced bell pepper
1 egg
worcestershire sauce
Ketchup
bread crumbs
salt & pepper
garlic powder

Now, I don't measure anything hardly ever so you will just have to use your judgement on this one. It really depends on the size of the loaf you are making as to how much you use. Mix it all together and place it into a baking dish and form it into a log (or whatever shape you want). Bake it at 350 for about an hour uncovered.

Mashed potatoes:
Peel and cut 4 - 5 medium potatoes into approx. 2 inch cubes. Put into salted boiling water and boil for about 10 minutes. Check the potatoes at about 8 min. in to see if they are soft. Drain the water and put the potatoes back into the hot pot (this helps to remove excess moisture). Add some butter, salt & pepper and mash. Add in about 1/3 cup milk and mash again. Add some parsley for garnish.

Peas:
put water in pot and bring to boil. Add 1 tbsp sugar and pinch of salt & pepper. Add 1 tbsp butter. Add in frozen peas. Boil about 3 - 5 min. remove from heat and serve.

rolls:
go to deli department of grocery store and pick up a bag of whatever looks freshest!

ENJOY!
