Method
 

Preparation

  2. While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the mashed potatoes according to your recipe or package instructions.
  3. Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven and top with shredded cheese.
  4. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
