Famous Recipes - 7-Eleven's Cherry Slurpee

7-Eleven's Cherry Slurpee
Recipe By :Todd Wilbur
Serving Size : 1 

2 cups cold club soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon Cherry flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid Mix -- plus
1/8 teaspoon Cherry flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid Mix
1/2 teaspoon cherry extract
2 1/2 cups crushed ice

Pour 1 cup of the club soda into a blender. Add the sugar, Kool-Aid
mix, and cherry extract. Blend this until all of the sugar is
dissolved.

Add the crushed ice and blend on high speed until the drink is a
slushy, smooth consistency, with no remaining chunks of ice.

Add the remaining club soda and blend briefly until mixed. You may
have to stop the blender and use a long spoon to stir up the contents.

If necessary, put the blender into your freezer for 1/2 hour. This
will help thicken it up. After 1/2 hour remove blender from freezer
and, again, blend briefly to mix.

This recipe yields one 32-ounce drink (or two 16-ouncers).

Famous Recipes - Boston Market Meatloaf Copycat Recipe

Boston Market Meatloaf Copycat Recipe

1 cup tomato sauce 
1 1/2 tablespoons Kraft original barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin (10% fat)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
dash garlic powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce 
and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture 
until it begins to bubble, stirring often, then remove it from the 
heat.

In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the 
meat. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to work the sauce into 
the meat until it is very well combined.

Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, 
salt, onion powder and ground pepper. Use the wooden spoon or your 
hands to work the spices and flour into the meat.

Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two 
sections which allows the fat to drain, but if you don't have one of 
those a regular loaf pan will work). Wrap foil over the pan and
place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
