My favorite clam chowder recipe. I also fry up 3-4 strips of bacon, drain and crumble, and add to the chowder.

Classic Clam Chowder

Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients
• ½ cup butter
• 6-8 cups diced potatoes
• 2 cups diced celery
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ cup flour
• 2-3 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams (drained and juice reserved)
• 2 (8 ounce) bottles of clam juice
• 3 cups milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Open the cans of clams and drain them, reserving the juice. Set aside.
2. In a large pot add ½ cup butter, diced onion, diced potato, sliced celery salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until onions are slightly translucent.
3. Next, add flour and stir until all of the veggies are evenly coated with flour.
4. Pour in the reserved clam juice, stirring continually and quickly while pouring. Continue adding the liquids: the bottled clam juice and then the milk (start with 2 cups of milk). Keep stirring as you add the liquids.
5. Allow the chowder to come back to a simmer and add up to an additional cup of milk if your soup seems too thick.
6. Next, add the clams.
7. Continue simmering until potatoes are tender, approx. 15-20 minutes.
8. When potatoes are tender and soup is the desired thickness, add the ½ cup heavy cream and dried parsley flakes. You can serve anytime after this point, or if you desire, you can let the soup continue to simmer a little longer.
9. Enjoy!
 
Maybe it's just that he doesn't care for meat loaf in general, but I've tried several different ways to make it, none of which make Mr. Owl happy. I love the stuff myself. If you've got a tried and true meat loaf recipe, please share!

I know of one he might like, but you wouldn't.

Ann Landers, I modify it because I like less binding (bread crumbs) in my meat loaf.


I use 1/2 the bread crumbs and no Accent! I think it contains msg.

Add Worcestershire sauce and mix in a teaspoon of jelly
 
These were such a hit at Christmas time that we made two more batches since then, despite being on diets. We'd take them and freeze them in individual squares for a once-in-a-while snack.

I found this one that uses horseradish. It sounds amazing.

That's my mom's recipe! Accent does have MSG which I avoid due to migraines. I only used to use 1 lb of ground beef though, so maybe that's why it was too salty for my taste, from the onion soup mix.
