Using stovetop stuffing makes meatloaf incredibly savory and the chunks of dried bread create a kind of a tiny mosaic in each slice. With a perfectly thick, sticky and sweet topping this meatloaf is an awesome easy dinner option to whip up any day of the week.

How to "Dry-Brine" Pork Chops
Seeing the juicy pork chops in my friend Jennifer Yu's blog post (Use Real Butter) inspired this recipe, which features one of my favorite getting-meat-ready-for-the-grill techniques of all time. If you can call sprinkling salt on pork chops a technique. As long as you don't horribly overcook your meat, this 'dry-brine' technique will produce the juiciest and most flavorful pork chops you've ever had.
Easy Chicken Taquitos
Make taquitos, or rolled tacos, at home with this super easy recipe that uses canned or rotisserie chicken, cheese, and hot pepper sauce. The filling is easy to adjust — add sliced jalapeños if you prefer lots of heat. Bake until crisp and serve as an appetizer or side dish with your favorite salsa. You can also serve them as a main course topped with lettuce, tomato, olives, sour cream, and more.
Oven-Baked Barbecue Rib Tips
Rib tips are the parts of the rib that are cut away to make St. Louis ribs. Some butchers call this the pork brisket. This cut has a lot of cartilage, but a low, slow cook softens the cartilage and makes it tasty. I like to cut them into small pieces. These meaty bits are a little easier to manage than ribs, and their meaty, chewy texture makes a great appetizer or main dish. Serve with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.
