Thank you so much friend, glad you liked these!

9:30 This earned my subscription 😊 Im a social/cultural anthropologist and this sums up exactly how I feel. Somewhere along the line SOMEONE decided that learning and experiencing other cultures was taboo and Im hear to testify THAT IS NOT HOW HUMANS WORK! We learn by doing, we try until we get things, we learn best while making mistakes and nobody's EVER done ANYTHING all by themselves! So with that in mind, PLEASE continue to try new things, make whatever minor mistakes are necessary and make the people around you happy with your wonderful personality ma'am. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day like you made mine. 😊🙏🏻

[@kippaseo8027]

Please don't ever feel like you have to qualify yourself or the way you pronounce your words. You are Southern polite And that's currently In short supply. If they misunderstand or feel insulted by anything you say that's their failing not yours. We "smart folk" Love and adore you just how you are. People like you honestly make me feel shame for every time I ever made a rude rude Southerner Southerner/hillbilly joke. I'm half Cuban and I recently had a fellow spic Told me that "Cubans are the rednecks of the Latin world". Normally those would be fighting words but I told him thank you. May God continue to bless you and and all in your community ( And the Cubans since we're rednecks too).🙏🇺🇸✌🌴

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

😂❤ thank YOU! You are so kind and your words touch my heart and made me feel so loved! And I welcome you with a big ole hug around your redneck ❤😂

[@realong2506]

When I make my meatloaf I mix a can of tomato soup and then fill the soup can with milk and swirl a spoon in it to get the rest of the soup out, add salt and pepper mix it with a whisk then pour it over the meatloaf, bake covered @ 350 degrees for an hour, remove the lid and cook for 20 or 30 minutes more until the sauce thickens a bit and serve it over mashed potato. Saw the recipe on a cooking show many years ago and my family loves it. I also like to add vinegar, bacon grease, some sugar, salt and pepper and diced onion to my canned green beans then cook them until the liquid is almost gone. Dehydrated onion works just as well as fresh onion does.

Hi Mel 😊 As a Brit married to an American living in USA 🇺🇸 I can honestly tell you that you don't speak English and I am not offended in the slightest 🤣 You do speak PERFECT Tennessee however... I love it . Hugs Kate ❤

You have an amazing personality. This world needs more compassion, no need to apologize for being kind. ❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@jerri117]

My husband loves meatloaf but if I don't get the spices just right in it he thinks it tastes like a big burger, so I make sure to double my spices for my meatloaf just to make him happy! I'll have to try this meatloaf and double the spices in it. Thanks for sharing all these delicious recipes with us! God bless you and your family always!

I just Love watching you, Mel! I think I took you once, that I lived in Maryville for 6 years while I went to Maryville College and my husband did graduate work at UT, so I absolutely adore your accent! Then, early ‘80’s we moved to Jackson, where we lived for 10 years and had our 4th child, a Son, ( who is now 39!), but listening to you makes me feel like I’m “ Coming Home again “! Thanks for your easy and delicious recipes, which at My age, (73), I truly appreciate! I’m definitely making that Mexican dish tonight with the cornbread. Thank You! Thank You! From this old Lady! Love you, Honey!❤😊😊😊

[@lemmylousmommy6616]

Mel, I find not realize until now that you are in East Tennessee! My mom's family was from there. When my parent's retired, they moved to Oak Ridge. They are both gone now, but I have such great memories of that area. So pretty.

[@darlenepalmer9837]

You speak just fine.Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to apologize to anybody. Love your cooking show. Thank you for sharing so much.

I found that pasta at Walmart❤. Also I use the fresh green beans with little new potatoes and chicken broth. ❤I leave the skin and eyes on the potatoes on as this is where the nutrients are ❤

[@cherylsxavier2975]

I love these recipes. They remind me of my early married days cooking and try to figure out what to cook for my kids and man. I have learned to add a cup to a quart of water to my hamburger meat when cooking it. I can't have the grease cause of my gallbladder. It gives me awful fits if I have a lot of grease. I just season the meat and get it broken up and add the water and it brings the grease up to the top and I pour it off.

[@cassysatterfield5860]

😅 I've finally found the best kitchen on KZbin that cooks the way my family eats. We're from Texas and sometimes it's hard to find new recipes we can try! Thank you ❤

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Welcome and thank you so much for your kind words 😊 We eat "real life family " food around here, too. I hope you find lots of yummy food and fun here with us. Have a great night and thank you again for watching and taking the time to introduce yourself 😊❤️

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Mel I had to see what you were cooking before I get ready for bed. My husband and I love any meal with ground beef. That skillet lasagna is a favorite. Thank you for all of your work putting this video together. Love seeing you.

[@marshamcfarland7369]

I also add a small can of sliced black olives in the meat mixture. It’s a great addition.

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

I’m going to have to try these. I make my canned green beans by adding a bouillon cube to each 1-2 cans and cook them in a pressure cooker about 7 min. They aren’t greasy but taste great. I’ll have to try some brown sugar. I shape my meatloaf the same, add some of my tomato mixture in the meat and put sauce on last 7 minutes. I also add brown sugar to mine.

[@mississippigirl]

Happy Sunday evening, Mel! I really think all three of these ground beef meals will be hits at my house. I cooked green beans today...we love them your way. My family and I are so thankful that I found your channel. Have a good week, my friend.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I have made those little meatloaves a couple of times. I liked them, but my husband absolutely loved them! He makes little meatloaf sandwiches with the leftovers.

[@fahinahigby1152]

I love using my muffin tins to make individual size meat loaf. I usually freeze them that way and then pop them out place then in a gallon ziplock bag and when I want to cook some up I’ll pop them back in my muffin tin’s depending on how many we will eat for that night. I cover them with tomato sauce and bake. Takes about 20 minutes and it’s done! Yum!😊❤

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

That's a great idea thanks 😊

Hi Mel, I just wanted to tell you that you don't need to put oil in cooking pasta. It creates a slippery surface so the pasta sauce won't stick to noodles. I'm just trying to let you know that.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thanks for the tip!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Awh honey, thank YOU for watching. I want to show easy, weeknight do-able meals. If a recipe even just has the appearance of looking hard, I would just pass it over, but sometimes just seeing someone else put something together really shows that it's not as hard or time-consuming as it looks. Real family dinners don't have to be hard or fancy to be delicious 😋

I appreciate learning cooking tips like using the cream cheese dip in the mash potatoes. And I MAY try the green bean recipe only because Patrick likes it. (I don’t eat canned green beans. Ask my first day care provider from 54 years ago. My mother still told that story until her last year with us. She thought it was so funny.) But the recipe sounds good so I will give it a try - first with canned green beans. Thanks Mel!
