Brown Sugar Meatloaf Variation 1 (original recipe posted in May)

1-1/2 lbs ground beef and pork for meatloaf
1/3 cup milk
2 heaping tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp dehydrated minced onion
1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal
2 sliced swiss cheese
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup catsup


Preheat the oven to 350^ F. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the first 7 ingredients and press half of the mixture into a 9x5" loaf pan. Top with the swiss cheese slices and then the rest of the meat, pressing to seal cheese in. Combine the brown sugar and catsup and spread over the top. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes or until the meat is completely cooked. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Great meatloaf!


Cheddar-Bacon Mashed Potatoes

Idahoan instant mashed potato flakes, prepared as directed on package
Sour cream
Shredded cheddar
minced chives
Bacon bits

Stir a dollop of sour cream into the hot mashed potatoes. Spoon into a buttered casserole dish, sprinkle with cheddar, chives and bacon bits. Bake at 350^ for 20 minutes.

Yummy! These would be the bomb made with real mashed potatoes instead of instant!
