I actually made this recipe for last night's supper fare, but was not able to post it, until today.
I saw a recipe reel on FB 💻🎞️ - and as usual, tweaked it a little, to suit our tastes 👩🍳
This recipe is so simple 🥧: use your favorite meatloaf recipe (I've posted mine), top with a mashed potato-chees-bacon topping … add your favored side … and you've got a full course meal with little to no kitchen time. Plus, the taste is hard to beat - this recipe is a definite win-win 😁
#NOTE: Read recipe in it's entirety before commencing with the cooking.
