Add ground beef and mix gently just until combined.

On a broiler pan, shape meatloaf mixture into an 8 x 4-inch loaf. Spread remaining 1/3 cup ketchup over top of loaf. Bake at 375 degrees for 70-75 minutes or until center is no longer pink and instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees when inserted in center of loaf. Let stand, covered, 15 minutes before slicing. 6 servings

I never heard of it, but I'll bet it was awesome.

I am going to try it with fresh grated potatoes and the shredded carrots, and maybe put a slice or two of cheese in the center of it(make sure cheese is covered entirely with meat) I have also put a couple hard-boiled eggs in the center of it. I like to put surprises in the center. Maybe strips of bacon.

I don't. But, I would probably slightly cook the potatoes for the meatloaf.

I have made that recipe myself. Instead of slightly cooking the spuds I use instant. Betty Crocker or the Garlic or butter flavor. It turns out great. Add onion and u can even grate carrots to add a dash of color and taste. Yum Yum

Give me Meatloaf on a Harley any day.

Are you sure she didn't use instant? That would be the equivalent to dry bread crumbs or crackers.

mine also used shredded carrots with taters ...they are left raw....

use raw potatoes

yum. I never tried that but I will now!!!!
