I enjoyed making this and there weren't any complaints at the table either! I sauteed some mushrooms and added about 1 tsp. of worstershire sauce to the meatloaf, but otherwise, made it as stated. The biggest trouble you will have is peeling the potatos and bringing the water to boil, otherwise, it is smoothe sailing. Thanks!

Yum! This was so easy to put together with everything on hand and we loved it! I made it as written except put the remaining cheese on the last 5 minutes of baking. I like that so few simple ingredients make such a tasty dish! Total comfort food we'll defintely enjoy again! Thank you for posting! :)
