Mega Meatloaf with Potato Stuffing

.........ok so you know(DD) me! It has to be easy for me to make it! So great with mashed potato leftovers!!

Mega Meatloaf with Potato Stuffing
All you do is make your regular meatloaf.
Put 1/2 of your mixture in your pan.
Then add and egg to Mashed Potatoes (instant or real - I used leftover ones from the night before!).

Put the Potatoes on top of the meatloaf, spreading evenly across the pan, and pressing firmly so it binds to the meatloaf.
Press remaining half of meatloaf mixture on top of potatoes, pressing firmly again to allow layers to stick together.

You will now have 3 layers, meat, potato, and meat

Cook meatloaf in oven for 60-70 minutes.

(Thanks DD, looks good!)
