Who knew that leftover mashed potatoes was the secret ingredient to GREAT meatloaf? This is one of the best meatloaves I've tried - and I've tried a lot. Tender, juicy, very flavourful. Highly, highly recommended. (and it'll use up your leftover mashed potatoes! ;-)) Note: This little bit is being tacked on cause I forgot to include it in my first review. I was lazy and didn't even bother to saute the onion and garlic, just dumped them in, raw and minced, into the meat/potato mixture. Worked just fine (and no skillet to wash up).
