Meatloaf With a Twist

This meatloaf includes the mashed potatoes. Great flavor. You’ve found a new way to make this classic recipe and the kids will love it. It’s also very flexible. Try it, you’ll like it!!!! Use ground beef, turkey, chicken, or chicken sausage, or a combination of all three.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step: 2

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, and set aside.

Step: 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Set the onion and garlic aside.

Step: 4

In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, black pepper, onion and garlic mixture, eggs, chicken broth, and Romano cheese until thoroughly combined. In a second bowl, mix the mashed potatoes and ricotta cheese.

Step: 5

Spoon half the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish, and smooth into an even layer with a spoon. Spread the mashed potato mixture over the meat, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the meat; sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese over the mashed potato layer. Cover the cheese with the remaining meat mixture in an even layer; press the edges down to seal in the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle loaf with additional 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese, if desired.

Step: 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is browned and the meat is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let the loaf stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , late-night snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much necessary to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). Meaning , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the bad item of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the other side, a meal that is less than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
