Meatloaf practically begs for mashed potatoes anyway, so why not make them together? It's a great combo and makes a delicious one dish meal. The mashed potatoes (I used four cheese instead of garlic) topped in cheddar in bacon were fantastic. I had a few suggestions for the meatloaf section to make it even better. First, leave out the brown sugar or drastically cut it back. I never usually put sugar in meatloaf, and I don't think it was an improvement here. Secondly, add salt. Always, add salt if the recipe doesn't call for it to bring out the flavor of the meat.
I will absolutely make this again when we are in the mood for meatloaf. The combo was perfect comfort food.
