This meatloaf brings back fond memories of everyone sitting around the dinner table together when I was a young girl. We always had meatloaf at least once a week and for some reason mother thought you had to have mashed potatoes and string beans. Not corn or other vegetables, it was all ways string beans (green beams). Now I seem to do the same. I changed this up abit and put potatoes on top and heaven forbit, I used instant potatoes. Hungry Jack Only!! no other will do
