Decided to have a favorite for dinner a little later. Meatloaf with mashed potatoes.There will be some left over for sandwiches.
Sharing again how I make my meatloaf. I have had a few ask for the recipe.
There are so many different ways to fix this. You can also substitute turkey for the beef.
In a large bowl, combine beef, egg, onion, milk and bread crumbs or oatmeal. Season with salt and pepper to taste, form into a loaf and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, add brown sugar, a tad of mustard (optional) and ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf. I add a lot of this topping, makes it very good. Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour.
Do you cook meatloaf? The recipe I use is easy and tasty.
The photo is similar to what mine looks like. My topping is darker since I add extra brown sugar to the ketchup.

I'd skip the onion, but the rest of that sounds great :) Thanks for sharing how you make yours!

@CarolDM I'd use onion powder instead probably. Just don't like the texture of onions lol

I had meatloaf for dinner last night! My recipe is very similar to yours, but instead of just beef, I use beef and ground sausage mixed together. It was an old family recipe my dad taught me.

@CarolDM Ooh, venison sausage is the best! Been a long time since I've had some of that!

@LowRiderX I have to agree. Wasn't going to have a big meal but I need to use the meat in the freezer. This will last for days. Sandwiches will be good tomorrow.

I love meatloaf with mashed potatoes and especially have leftovers for sandwiches. I'm going to try your topping as it sounds delicious.

Not the biggest fan of meatloaf but mixing with mashed potatoes sounds pretty good!
