Bake for 20 minutes, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
While the meatloaves are cooking, prepare your mashed potatoes.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large resealable bag. Snip off one corner of the bag.
To serve, place one meatloaf on a plate, then pipe the mashed potatoes (about 1/4 cup) on top.

    I saw something like this on TV, I think it's a great idea to help get kids in the kitchen.
    grate a little carrot in it for more veggie. Oh, and a little cauliflower in the mashed potatoes. - 11/1/13

    The only thing I would do different is use 1/2 dry oatmeal with the bread crumbs for the filler to give it a little more nutritional value. - 11/1/13

    I made these for the Super Bowl Game and they went over very well. I used half cauliflower and half potato.. they didn't last long at all! - 2/5/14

    I made this many years ago for my four kids. They are now all in their forties, but they remember how much they liked this dish. It is easy to make and tastes so yummy. - 11/1/13

    I'm making this for dinner tonight, but I will use ground turkey instead since that's what I have in my freezer. I'll add some diced red and green peppers to this also. - 11/1/14

    I am going to try this recipe for my husband, using Diabetic Gravy instead of the mashed potato. - 9/18/13

    What is in McCormick's steak spice? I make all my own spice mixes so I can control the ingredients. - 11/1/14

    Kids loved it but my cognitive dissonance couldn't get around the two facts: it looks like a cupcake and it smells like meatloaf. Similar to why I can't eat cadbury easter eggs. They look like soft boiled eggs. - 6/9/14

    This is so similar to the meatloaf recipe I made yesterday. My family loves mashed potatoes so I will combine my meatloaf with them tonight for supper. Thank You. - 11/1/13
