Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and rolls
I can't remember if I posted this recipe before so I'm going to post it here. I tend to over do it as far as adding "extra stuff" to to meatloaf recipes so I never really liked meatloaf much. I used to use Lipton onion soup mix to make my meatloaf and add mushrooms or cheese or some other item. I hardly made it because I would alway overdo it, until I found this recipe.
The only things I change is I add green bell pepper, bread crumbs instead of crushed crackers, put the ketchup/brown sugar mixture on top instead of the bottom and use a cookie sheet lined with foil with the sides flipped up to catch the grease. My family loves it and requests it almost weekly. I serve it with mashed potatoes, a vegetable and rolls with brown gravy on top of the meatloaf and potatoes. I really like Pioneer Brand brown gravy mix when I don't make my own.
