sorry for non costco tangent but if youve got a good meatloaf recipe pls drop it

This is the one I use

https://natashaskitchen.com/meatloaf-recipe/

I use BBQ sauce instead of ketchup though.

Also for the glaze (which is the best part) I use bbq sauce and a few spoon fulls of Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce.

It’s fuckin great and easy.

The glaze really makes it bangin.

I use the recipe on the back of the box of Lipton onion soup mix and just add A1 and some worcestershire as well. Use 50/50 ground beef and pork.

Its real good.

Some places will sell meatloaf mix: a beef, pork veal combo. I usually do 2lbs. of beef/pork mix. Sautéed diced onions, saltines, eggs and milk largely make up the binder. Water down some ketchup with cider vinegar, add brown sugar and spices to you liking.

Sometimes I precook some bacon and crumble it into the loaf or put it on top afterwards.

The best things I get regularly at Costco are the double packs of frozen lasagna with sausage, the croissants, good apples when they have them (we finally got some good ones after getting bad ones from the start of the season until now, and the weirdest things are the chicken enchiladas with no tortillas, they use chicken meat as the wrap but you only notice that after you buy them and your wife says " is this entirely chicken meat" and you're like, "lol what" and it is. The sauce is weak poo poo too. Fine for low carb, but then add some more fat please.

They've got rid of most of the good yoghurt options over the years. The three kinds of sliced cheese packs have also come with the cheese all mouldy before too, so I'm never having that again.

I use this meatloaf recipe (replacing anchovies with worcestershire sauce). It is more than 7 ingredients, though. And not many that are at Costco.

I feel like Costco online took my order, made a label, and just threw it away. When is my order going on the drat truck!

I decided to chat with customer service and they're sending a replacement. I like that.

What are the odds I get a double order again?

The only good yogurt they have anymore is the Mountain High plain yogurt. Sometimes they have a smaller Greek Gods Honey Vanilla but it's pretty sweet.

Otherwise it's just Chobani and Yoplait single serve packs. No thank you.

Speaking of, adding a scoop of that plain yogurt to 2 cups of fruit is an amazing way to make a breakfast smoothie.

Not really normal from my experience but the eye doctors are kinda independent from Costco so it just depends on the location.

They might have had 2 doctors on the schedule and one called in sick or something which puts them seriously behind

If he chose to have his eyes dilated rather than pay to have their fancy machine take pics of the back of his eyes, then yeah. Dilation adds like 30-45 minutes.

I think those ground turkey packages at Costco at 1.7 lbs? I'm going to estimate because I don't measure, I could be wrong with these tablespoons. Do what feels right. Basically its like you're making Thanksgiving stuffing, but you mix your seasonings and aromatics into the meatloaf instead of cubed bread.

Finely dice 1/2 medium onion, 2 celery stalks, 1 peeled carrot, and 1 garlic.
Sautee in a large pan over medium heat with some olive oil
Season with salt, pepper. Roughly 1 tbsp of thyme, 1/2 tbsp each of sage, and rosemary.
Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Add about 2 tbsp of butter to finish.
Allow to cool somewhat.

In a large bowl, add your ground turkey.
1 cup of panko breadcrumbs.
Another large pinch of salt.
Some ground pepper.
Mix 2 eggs with about 1/4 cup of milk and pour into the bowl.
Add your cooked vegetables from above.
Mix thoroughly with your hands.
Wash your hands.
Coat your hands with some olive oil and form the mixture into a loaf on a sheet pan or a pyrex baking dish. (The oil will keep the meat from sticking to you and also help the outside crisp.)
Cook at 400F for 25-30 minutes? I don't know, I use a meat thermometer.

Serve with your favorite Ocean Spray canned Cranberry Sauce.

Most people don't realize it, but lots of people don't work on MLK day, so they make a trip to Costco on the day off. I don't know about the eye doctor specifically, but Costco itself is always busy on MLK day.

Yeah to be clear I never just eat yogurt, I add it to sauces, grains, soup, etc. And Cholula, which church also provides. If they made a Greek yogurt "fruit on the bottom" style with hot sauce I would buy the poo poo out of it (or cottage cheese)

I use probably double the spices way more ketchup and add some flour to get it to come together better and it makes it softer than just breadcrumbs. I don't add milk though. I also use turkey and a bit of soy sauce. In short mine is totally different,

my local costco has a local yogurt brand which absolutely rules but they do the 24 single serving variety pack style (3 types, 8ea) while I'd really prefer them to just have the big tubs I know the brand produces. because this is costco, probably 2-4 big tubs shrinkwrapped together. That's fine. Just save me from 24 little cups.
