.........So my girlfriend showed me a good way to cook a potato side for Meat Loaf. You mix up your ground beef in the order that you normally would for your prep. Instead of cooking the potatoes seperate , either cut them into small pieces and or just use hash browns like I did, and lay them across the bottom of the pan in a healthy layer and set your shaped meat loaf on the top bake as you normally would, when the meat loaf is finished the potatoes are cooked and they also help absorb some of the ordinary meat juices, so the pan is realatively dry instead of the meat loaf sitting in a pile of grease, they taste Great! I am sure that they are extremely un-healthy and the fat content is through the roof, but hey, you only go 'round once!

That sounds like a great way to do it. i'll pass that on to my wife, who, last night made . . . .meatloaf! Must have been in the air.

I am not a fan of meatloaf, but this was my sister's recipe which is beyond normal meatloaf.

She boiled some red taters with it which I slathered in butter and fresh ground black pepper. She also made some cabbage with onions, fresh garlic, diced apples, bacon, some other stuff I don't know, all sauteed in olive oil.

It was fit for a king and i am just a peon so I made out like a bandit. Sounds like you did too Tombstone. ;)

yeah I surely cannot complain, I am very lucky she can really cook! Everything from the ordinary to the complex..............just thought that was pretty regular and fun to share. I hope she will be around for a long time, although my waist line im sure doesn't! :D
