Tips: I am very particular about my meatloaf. My mom's and mother-in-law's meatloaf recipes are usually the only two that I consider good enough to grace our table. But this one caught my attention with the potatoes on top and I though I would give it a chance. I will admit that it was a worthy opponent. Any jar or can of brown gravy will work since only a 1/4 cup needs to be measured. I always use my KitchenAid Stand Mixer when I mix meat otherwise it kills your arm. I also shared this recipe at Simply Sweet Home's Friday Favorites.
