FROSTED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 6½x10-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add oil.
• When the oil is hot, add onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, eggs, cooked onions, garlic, crackers, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Pour in the milk, starting with ¼ cup, and mix. The texture should be soft, but not runny. Add the remaining milk, as needed.
• To the prepared pan, add the meat mixture, making a loaf shape.
• In a separate bowl, combine the ketchup and barbecue sauce. Mix well and spread over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• After the meatloaf has been baked, carefully add the mashed potatoes to the top. Use an offset spatula to smooth the potatoes into an even layer.
• Broil the frosted meatloaf for 4-5 minutes, or until golden.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and slicing.

FROSTED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl beat egg slightly. Add oats, catsup, salt and pepper and mix well. Mix in ground beef. Shape into a loaf and place in an 8 by 4 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• 2. Prepare mashed potatoes while meatloaf is baking. Add a bit more liquid than called for usually so potatoes will spread easily. Remove meatloaf from oven, cool a bit. Remove from pan and drain. Place on a large oven proof pie plate or serving plate. "Frost" or cover meatloaf on sides and top with mashed potatoes. Bake for 15 minutes more. Sprinkle cheese on top and return to hot oven until cheese is melted. Slice and serve.

FROSTED MEATLOAF (BEEF OR TURKEY)

Steps:

• In large bowl mix ground meat and A-1 sauce, minced onion, cilantro. Add beaten eggs, mix well. Add crackers or bread crumbs and catalina dressing and white pepper. Mix. Add cheese 1/2 cup at a time and mix, then add another until all cheese is mixed.
• Form into an oval loaf, place in low side baking pan. Chill if desired.
• Bake 350* 1 hour. Allow ten more minutes if chilled. I suggest placing a pan on the rack underneath to catch any grease drips from beef or turkey and the melted cheese sometimes drips from the bottom side. I have used a sharp cheese also. When cold this makes an excellent cold meat loaf sandwich. Some family members prefer cold.
• Cook 3 medium potatoes in water or microwave, peel and mash. Add beaten egg and miracle whip and salt. You may prepare instant potatoes if you desire. Make sure they are a little on the stiff side before adding the egg, miracle whip and salt.
• When loaf is baked, frost with mashed potatoes. Spread on with spatula. Make peaks all over it.You can also brush melted margarine over it but watch carefully when it is broiling.
• Broil about 5 inches away until peaks are browned. Take out of oven. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Broil fresh mushrooms at the same time.
• Let set ten minutes before serving. Cut in wedges. Serve on a platter with broiled fresh mushrooms surrounding the loaf and slices of lemon in between.
