Meatloaf and Garlic Mashed potatoes

Meatloaf and Garlic Mashed Potatoes

 

Every time I make this my husband and kids start to groan thinking 'yuck meatloaf"...  then they each eat 2 platefuls and love it!!  I don't know if it's the extra rice I add?  So it's not all meat...but a lot of rice and garlic flavor.  Add the garlic mashed potatoes and garden green beans....so good!

1 1/2 pounds meatloaf
1 tsp onion powder
1 cup cooked rice (or 1/3 cup minute rice)  I like a lot of rice!!
1 piece bread broken up
1/2 to 1 cup ketchup (I use about a cup ketchup or you can use BBQ sauce)
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
salt, pepper, and garlic...  I love garlic (either use 1/2 tsp garlic powder or even better to use1+ tsp fresh chopped garlic)
Mix all together and put into pan, bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

Garlic Mashed potatoes

Boil 5 large potatoes until soft, then mash...  Add about 3-4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter,  little milk, salt/pepper, and about a tsp garlic powder.  Mash all together!!
