We made these mini meatloaves several weeks ago. Hands down our favorite meatloaf recipe now!

[@MarySmith-gu5nb]

Fresh parsley is to DIE for! Stick with it!

[@elizabethd6993]

I made the sliders today but made it with a cracked black pepper Turkey from Kroger and omg it was delicious. Half a stick was enough butter for 24 sliders.

[@carrielusk8617]

Doing the French dip sliders for my family tonight! Can't wait!

[@DayDayTN]

I just made the BBQ cheddar mini meatloaves for dinner tonight and they were delicious! Yum, SO good!

[@OliviaMiller-ft7vh]

I made the sliders and used the 2 tbsp of butter instead of the half stick and it was PERFECTION

[@sidneylemay5535]

I am so excited to try a few of these. They look great. Also love the lunch box ideas. I carry mine to work everyday and having a variety of meals helps a lot. 💜

[@ashdftdx]

Saaame with cutting the Hawaiian rolls 😂. Every video I see they always cut it perfectly so thank you for keeping it real lol

[@MaegensKitchen]

Those French dip sliders look amazing! I love sliders of all kinds and these look so good!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤

[@MdnightWnd]

One of my favorite ways to make meatloaf is to grind my own beef, pork and bacon mixture and then follow this recipe (minus the cooked bacon). I feel like the meatloaf is much more tender and juicy and it saves me having to fry bacon. The meat mixture also works for a lot of other things and adds an interesting twist.

[@HeatherTerry84]

I bet that would make delicious meatballs!

[@aprilsolomon226]

Turn the rolls on there side and cut them! Truly change my life! ☺️ Mine used to be worse 🤦‍♀️

[@tattooedbaby5727]

What I love about your channel is that you don’t film your family eating. I’d hate to be filmed while I eat. And I think channels who do that are really annoying. You seem like such a good mom and wife just by just how you pack lunches and you made dinner for your family. You inspire me a lot.

[@paulamcleod1227]

Love Sweet Baby Rays sauce! I've got low and slow oven baby back ribs baking on 250 degrees covered up with foil in the oven right now for 3 hours. Uncover and slather on baby rays and cook uncovered for another 1/2 hour.

[@KristinStepp]

That sounds so good! I love ribs.

[@aubreycooper1537]

deffinatly going to try the, french dip sliders

[@jaynebennett3401]

I can’t cut slider buns either, I just separate them into threes and cut them! The meatloaf looks amazing, we love the Sweet Baby Rays sugar free, added the meatloaf recipe to my Pinterest collection. Great job!

[@KristinStepp]

Genius! I’ll try that next time. Thank you!!

[@mexicangyrl24]

Try getting those cake level cutter thing. It helps a lot.

[@AlynnQuinn]

When cutting the bread in half put your hand lightly on top of the bread to sort of “grip” it. Then try cutting it. This helps me make somewhat even halves! 😂❤

[@tdawna]

I also start cutting a little at one end, then start cutting from the other end, and back and forth from each end until I reach the middle. Much more even than trying to go all the way across from one side.

[@murphy81775]

@@tdawna that’s what I do, too. Sometimes I still mess it up, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@carrielusk8617]

Seriously dont know how I would make it without your videos. I watch some everyday! You are great Kristin and I appreciate you putting out all these dinner, lunch and grocery haul videos! 🥰

[@Hufflepuffgirl17]

I love these sliders

[@RadianceRush]

Ya'll we tried the french dip sliders and they were DELICIOUS!

[@KristinStepp]

Yay!! ❤

[@starwars6718]

you should make a video based on you're family's favorite dinners for a week

[@dustiemccabe9054]

My family’s favorite way for chicken and rice is cooking about 6/8 pieces of chicken in the crockpot with two cans of cream of mushroom and a packet of onion soup mix. Then once it’s cooked pour the gravy made over rice and give each plate a piece of chicken. So yummy and simple.

[@cassied94]

When making sliders, i like to melt butter with garlic powder, onion powder and a little dried parsley and paint that to the top of my slider rolls amd its sooo good and the parsley makes them look so pretty with a pop of color!

[@angelabrockman7816]

i always leave here hungry! 😋❤

[@karensantiago1621]

I frequently cook the rice w/o washing it. 😊 My kids love the sliders and is in today's menu plan.

[@sherryd339]

I thought I was the only one who cannot cut those Hawaiian Rolls evenly! Probably because I don’t have a good knife either. I need to get one. Your meals look delicious! Thanks for sharing. Blessings from Diane in Oklahoma!❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! My knives are pretty dull right now too.

[@kellytoycow]

Our local grocery store just started carrying King’s slider rolls. It’s a little firmer than the original Hawaiian roll, same flavor and they are pre sliced! 🙌🏻

[@jesslynnn3874]

I'm definitely trying those sliders 😍

[@jgmt1784]

I can’t cut those darn rolls either! I have found if I divide them into sets of 6 I can get them closer to being even.

[@itsjustme.7059]

I love chicken and rice. I like a can of cream of mushroom soup in mine. It’s so creamy. When I was pregnant and had morning sickness for a solid five months, chicken and rice was so soothing to my stomach.

[@KristinStepp]

I prefer chicken and rice with a cream soup as well, so good! Maybe that’s why this recipe seemed bland to us because that’s what we are used too.

[@Sagensass]

On the meatloafs if you add ketchup on top with the bbq sauce it’s also super amazing

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

We make the mini meatloafs but use large muffin pans. We call them meatloaf muffins. So good bc the get crispy on the side 😊

[@itsjustme.7059]

I’m going to try that. I just make individual patties of my meatloaf mixture. I like a lot of ketchup on mine and my husband doesn’t. This way we can have what we like.

[@kara3871]

Girl them bbq mini cheddar meatloaves has been a recipe I use all the time. My hubby want these instead of regular meatloaf!

[@1268mbeth]

Hi Kristin! Love your channel and videos. I’ve tried so many recipes from your videos. Last night I made the creamy pork chop and rice casserole from one of your videos. It was so so good. 🧡

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! I haven’t made that recipe in awhile I need to make it soon, I’m so happy it was a hit for you!

[@jenniferdaniell4522]

We had the bacon BBQ meatloaf tonight and it was a huge hit!

[@KristinStepp]

Yay!! 💗❤️

[@amyhairr6786]

Love all your videos-but this one probably has the most delicious looking variety yet LOL

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@marshajordan862]

All look delicious. Blessings

Oh my goodness gracious, these all look and sound delicious. Definitely adding French onion sliders to our meal plan. 😋

Au jus mixed with butter? 😋 Who needs Arby's. I need to try that roast beef sandwich recipe!

[@cindakellogg1307]

Those sliders looked heavenly! I could eat a couple right now. Parsley...umm...tastes like grass clippings to me! I just can't go it! Have a wonderful and blessed weekend....

[@KristinStepp]

It’s definitely a different taste lol! Thank you!!

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome recipes, thanks

[@KristinStepp]

Glad you like them!

[@iidifferentworlds]

I had to do a double take when I saw you making french ONION dips especially when you added real crispy onions haha.

[@KristinStepp]

😂❤️

[@melindalee1342]

Well we must have been breathing the exact same KY air…. I made chicken and gnocchi soup last week, meatloaf last night and roast beef sliders on the menu for Wednesday! Yours look fantastic!

[@KristinStepp]

Great minds think alike! & thank you!!

[@kerrivacs7507]

Hey 👋🏼 wanted to tell you that Lasagna soup was a big hit with my VERY picky daughter who only eats 1 soup from Panera Bread she loved this thank yiu

[@KristinStepp]

I’m so happy to hear that!! ❤

[@candyrain1971]

Everything looked delicious. I will try the sliders. Thank you for sharing. God bless all!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@themillardfamily1749]

Those sliders look heavenly!

[@lynclements4642]

Yum!!! I’m going to try the mini meatloaves and Gnocchi soup!

[@heidinsasha]

My kids have some texture issues with onions and won't touch them but my husband and I love them. I have found that adding dehydrated onion gives great onion flavor but they basically cook down to nothing so my kids will eat them 🤣🤣🤣 you might give that a try sometime. I love your videos, they help me so much when kitchen burnout gets real ❣️❣️

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! My dad puts those in his fried potatoes and they don’t bother me so maybe I’ll brave up and buy some lol!

[@nickywiedmeier6770]

I love the receipts! For the Hawaiian rolls I look for the light blue bag that is the Hawaiian sub rolls. Don’t always have them but it’s like twice the size of the regular ones and gosh are the way way easier to cut! They are also slight perforated I think bc it’s a sub roll which helps. So if you see it, try them! promise same taste!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! I’ll have to look for those!

[@bonniepwtf]

Yay, a Kristin video! Definitely going to try the chicken & rice in my Instant Pot. I have everything right now to do it. Thanks 🤗, appreciate you.

[@KristinStepp]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MJM8715]

I’m definitely going to try the meatloaf - looks delicious!👌🏾

[@sarahshoults8381]

I do not like meatloaf normally.. but when I made bacon bbq mini meatloaf it is the only meatloaf I like.. I also use small cubes of Velveeta instead

[@Jamhands9]

Definitely making the sliders! I have 1/2 a container of crispy onions I need to use up

[@BarbaraU]

Wow! I didn't realize great value made an au jus gravy mix. Every time I look for it I can only find McCormick

[@maryparsons2516]

I separate the Buns first, so I'm just cutting 6 at a time. Much easier.

[@teemoney8517]

I'm going to make the chicken and rice but I'm going to use the rotisserie that already has flavor in it since you said it came out. Bland Love your channel girl. Keep it up 💕

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!!

[@tracywishom9999]

Another winner, thanks for sharing ☺️

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! ❤

[@cynrok]

if you're using the curly parsley there's your problem...the flat-leaf italian parsley is so much better, curly is just weird and useless for anything but looking pretty on the side of a diner plate 😉

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

Actually, they taste exactly the same.

[@cynrok]

@@MaritaCovarrubias01 absolutely wrong

[@laur803]

Totally right!

[@HeatherTerry84]

I’m 1/2 Italian and I easily say there’s a flavor difference. The curly kind just tastes like grass, the flat Italian kind has a very subtle peppery/citrus flavor. Also I have 2 uncles and a cousin who are professional chefs and they say the curly stuff is only good for garnish lol

[@maehart440]

Good

[@MedusaMetropolis]

I made the soup recipe, turned out awesome!

[@KristinStepp]

So happy to hear that!!

[@thenubalicious]

I'm making the chicken soup as I watch this 😄

[@mylittlepony-s1m]

cool

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

Use a cooking spoon to scoop the potato gnocchi into the pot so it won't splatter

[@toastedmarshmallowkitchen7911]

I find that slider recipes call for too much of the butter mixture too!

[@RadianceRush]

I can never cut the Hawaiian rolls evenly either lol. It's so trickey!

[@susans9491]

Going to try all of these, except the chicken and rice. I’ll wait on that one until I buy an instant pot.

[@lavernejones4471]

Hi Kristin. Great meals as always! Everything looked delicious. Thanks for sharing. 🤗💕

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! 💗

[@woopworld09]

Love this everything looked amazing ❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! 💗

[@globegirl90]

I'd try the soup if I could make it thicker would you suggest less half and half or more something yes (I'd like more of a chowder consistency)

[@KristinStepp]

I understand that! You could add 1/2 cup flour instead of 1/4, a little less liquid and you could add Parmesan cheese into the pot. That should help!

[@susans9491]

You might even consider adding in some instant potato flakes, they thicken soups beautifully and don’t have a strong flavor, especially when using potato gnocchi anyway.

[@kims1941]

Going to try to the BBQ mini meatloaves. I refuse to buy Sweet Baby Ray's due to the unhealthy high fructose corn syrup. Montgomery Inn and Stubbs are two delicious BBQ sauces that do not contain it, if you're interested.

[@sueojeda5712]

Love your channel and I would never tell you how to do anything when 😊

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you 🥰

[@allie8103]

Just wondering, did Josh noticed the fried onions getting soggy in the sandwich? I would definitely want them to be crispy, so I may just have to add mine when I serve it up

[@globegirl90]

I was wondering the same thing lol

[@KristinStepp]

He didn’t say anything about them being soggy and he doesn’t care to critique lol

[@grahams691]

I wonder if you stuck the buns in the freezer for a little bit before if it would help slice them

[@terrigaines1812]

Hey girl, how much roast beef did you use for the sliders? Was it a pound? Also how thick or thin would you recommend getting it cut?

[@KristinStepp]

I used a little under a pound! As thin as possible would be best.

[@AuroraTigress]

I myself was struggling to cut bread just a few minutes ago, lol.

[@debbielee7117]

I made those meatloaves, and they were delicious. Only thing, they stuck to the pan terribly!

[@KristinStepp]

Oh no! I’m sorry you had that problem.

[@FlorenceFF13]

😊

[@Sssilentlaugh]

Hey have you tried fried potatoes in the air fryer?

[@KristinStepp]

Yes, air fried potatoes are so good. I like that I don’t have to use near as much oil and no butter.

[@Janieandtheboys17]

You were going to try the crispy onions?!?!

[@KristinStepp]

Only because they remind me of chips 😂 I’ve had the French’s kind a couple times in a green bean casserole and liked it!

[@apriltownsend8463]

I've never heard of anyone rinsing rice. I've never done it and mine turns out fine.

[@nikkibyrd343]

I always butcher those slider rolls 🤣 I just made that soup with those gnocchi and they were super dry and tough in the middle. Were yours?

[@KristinStepp]

I’ve only had gnocchi a few times and never from a restaurant so I’m not sure if what I’ve been having is normal lol. I would describe them as dense! My Walmart only has 2 brands and both come out the same so I assumed that’s how it was supposed to be.

[@nikkibyrd343]

@@KristinStepp I made them from scratch once and that’s the only time I ever had them and they were dense but not dry. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@stefanie1858]

How much rice did you use in the chicken and rice???

[@KristinStepp]

I can’t believe I forgot to mention that! It’s 2 cups ☺️

[@KarlainChrist]

Anyone has any tips on how to make boxed scalloped potatoes taste better? I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but mine never taste as I would like them too

[@KristinStepp]

I used to think the same thing! That’s why I stopped buying them for so long, I thought they tasted like the cardboard box they came in lol. What brand are you buying? The ones I bought were Betty Crocker and we really liked them.

[@KarlainChrist]

@@KristinStepp I actually had the Betty Crocker as well, did you do anything extra other than package instructions? Thanks Kristin ☺️

[@stephaniehays4527]

🤘😍💙

[@venusgal2706]

All looked yummy but a bit ingredient expensive. That was a $25 slider meal in my estimation and for just the sandwiches without potatoes or sides or drinks. Nothing wrong with that, just saying eating in such a way is expensive with top or ready made ingredients.

[@KristinStepp]

I agree, that slider recipe was definitely more expensive than what I normally spend for a meal.
