Frosted Meat Loaf Food

FROSTED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the bread slices in a large mixing bowl, pour the milk over them and let them soak until they have absorbed the milk.
• Add the the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and parsley to the bowl, mix it up (this is best done with clean hands) and add the eggs. Mix again.
• Pat the mixture into a loaf shape. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil, put a cooking rack on it and put your meatloaf on the rack (this will let the fat drain off as it cooks).
• Put the ketchup and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and stir it up. Pour it over the top of the meatloaf and spread it over the sides with a spatula.
• Bake for your meatloaf for an hour, then take it out of the oven and let it sit. Increase the oven temperature to 450.
• Cool meatloaf for 10 minutes, then "frost" top and sides with warm mashed potatoes. Brush with melted butter and return to oven and bake until potatoes are brown on the edges, about 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve!

FROSTED MEATLOAF (BEEF OR TURKEY)

Steps:

• In large bowl mix ground meat and A-1 sauce, minced onion, cilantro. Add beaten eggs, mix well. Add crackers or bread crumbs and catalina dressing and white pepper. Mix. Add cheese 1/2 cup at a time and mix, then add another until all cheese is mixed.
• Form into an oval loaf, place in low side baking pan. Chill if desired.
• Bake 350* 1 hour. Allow ten more minutes if chilled. I suggest placing a pan on the rack underneath to catch any grease drips from beef or turkey and the melted cheese sometimes drips from the bottom side. I have used a sharp cheese also. When cold this makes an excellent cold meat loaf sandwich. Some family members prefer cold.
• Cook 3 medium potatoes in water or microwave, peel and mash. Add beaten egg and miracle whip and salt. You may prepare instant potatoes if you desire. Make sure they are a little on the stiff side before adding the egg, miracle whip and salt.
• When loaf is baked, frost with mashed potatoes. Spread on with spatula. Make peaks all over it.You can also brush melted margarine over it but watch carefully when it is broiling.
• Broil about 5 inches away until peaks are browned. Take out of oven. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Broil fresh mushrooms at the same time.
• Let set ten minutes before serving. Cut in wedges. Serve on a platter with broiled fresh mushrooms surrounding the loaf and slices of lemon in between.

MEAT LOAF

• Meanwhile, prepare potato frosting: in 2-quart saucepan, heat yellow potatoes with enough water to cover to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook potatoes until tender-about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, microwave sweet potato on high until fork tender-6 to 8 minutes. Cut sweet potato lengthwise and scoop pulp into small bowl, avoiding fibrous layer next to skin; set aside to cool slightly. Drain cooked yellow potatoes and return to pan. With potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth. Add milk, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon butter; mash until creamy. Separate egg, stirring egg white into mashed potatoes. Add egg white into mashed potatoes. Add egg yolk, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to sweet potato; mash until smooth and spoon into small pastry bag fitted with 1/4 inch wide star tip. Spoon some of mashed yellow potatoes into large pastry bag fitted with 1/4 inch wide star tip. Set both pastry bags aside.

• Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Pipe sweet-potato mixture lengthwise on top of loaf and around base. Pipe yellow potato mixture all over to cover meat loaf. Bake frosted loaf 15 minutes or until potato browns slightly.
• Meanwhile, prepare gravy, if desired. If loaf is baked on pizza pan, with 2 broad spatulas, carefully transfer to serving platter. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired. Use serrated knife and sawing motion to slice meatloaf.
