## Recipes: Main Dishes

Weeknight dinners and Sunday roasts: meatloaf, meatballs, pork chops, lasagna and the casseroles that feed a table.

- [Classic Meatloaf Recipe: Tender Slices, a Tangy Glaze, No Guesswork](https://recipeplot.com/meatloaf-recipe/): Soak breadcrumbs in milk, then mix in eggs, softened onion and 2 pounds of 85% lean ground beef. Shape the loaf on a lined baking sheet and bake it at 350°F until the center reads 160°F, about 65 to 75 minutes. Rest it for 10 minutes before slicing.

## Recipes: Sides & Salads

The dishes that round out a plate: mashed potatoes, casseroles, slaws, potato and pasta salads, and holiday sides.

Cookies, cakes, pies, bars and puddings, with the reasons a batch spreads, sinks, cracks or turns out exactly right.

- [Rice Krispie Treats Recipe: Soft, Chewy and Easy to Get Right](https://recipeplot.com/rice-krispie-treats-recipe/): Melt 6 tablespoons of butter over low heat, stir in 20 ounces of mini marshmallows until just melted, then fold in 9 cups of crisp rice cereal. Spread the mixture into a buttered 9 by 13-inch pan without packing it down, and let it set for an hour before cutting.

## Kitchen Answers: Ingredient Substitutions

What to use when an ingredient is missing, how much of it, and which recipes the swap works in and which it ruins.

- [Egg Substitute Guide: What to Use, How Much, and When It Works](https://recipeplot.com/egg-substitute/): The most reliable egg substitute for baking is a flax egg: stir 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed into 3 tablespoons of water and let it thicken for 5 minutes. It replaces one large egg in cookies, muffins, brownies and quick breads. For other dishes, pick the swap that does the job the egg was doing.

## Kitchen Answers: Storage & Food Safety

How long food keeps in the fridge, freezer and pantry, how to reheat it, and the signs it has gone bad.
