It was made in my small, 2 quart round.

Just enough for a few meals or sandwiches for me, or some extra to freeze.

Ya, this recipe is from the single serving gal MTC turned us on to.

Her original recipe only used 1/2 pound of ground beef but I doubled it. Just as easy to prepare the "adds" for a full meatloaf & I like to have leftovers.

• PRO TIP: Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out!

Notes

Deviled Eggs Top Tips

• Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out.
• You can certainly mix the deviled egg filling with a spoon or whisk, but a hand mixer gives you a creamy fluffy texture that pipes beautifully.
• Use a large gallon zip-top bag and large star tip to pipe the filling into the egg white shells, it looks gorgeous and professional.
• Make-Ahead Tip: Boil the eggs, slice in half, and keep covered on a tray. Fill your ziptop bag with a piping tip, and have your tiny sage and thyme pieces and ready to go, then assemble in minutes right before your party.

Thanksgiving Appetizer Party Tips

1. Use serving pieces you have, look high and low for the thing you have-trust me you have great pieces to use.
2. Plan an area for all your appetizers. A nice long table, the dinner table, or a kitchen counter space all work great. Just plan for your number of guests, and space to walk around the table.

Use what you have to create different heights and to keep people moving around trying different appetizers. Try to set up a scene with levels, and place things up high, low, and spilling out of baskets.

Some times I ponder about going to all the same work for just One of her servings as I would for a normal size.

Esp. the baking ones...although it would prevent me from eating anymore than One serving!   LOL

And could be useful if you have like, 1 banana left...certainly not enuf for a whole batch of anything.

I like to have leftovers too....and just wonder about going through all that work for such a small amount of food.

I am thinking of adding them to my dinner this year since I am not having 50 people this year!   LOL

Just small old us and a couple friends...I'd have a LOT more time this year.
