Meatloaf and The Best Mashed Potatoes Ever

Yesterday was my birthday!!!!!

I got to go shopping!!! How exciting :) My husband took me to a fancy restaurant and we had so much fun. I am so blessed!!!!

OK, so Thursday night I made a really good meatloaf and the best mashed potatoes ever and I know you want to know the recipe so here it is.

Ingredients:

1 egg, lightly beaten

2/3 cup 2% milk

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

1 medium onion, chopped

1/2 cup finely shredded carrot (optional)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

Ketchup

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine first eight ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf, pour some ketchup on top and spread over loaf. Place in a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes and let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

The mashed potatoes are so easy to make but I'm going to give you the link from where I got it so you can see it done step by step. You won't be disappointed!!!
