RecipesHow To Make A Potato Stuffed Meatloaf For Family Dinners
If you enjoy eating meatloaf but looking for an old-fashioned twist to the traditional meatloaf recipe, I think you will enjoy this vintage 1935 recipe that I received 20 years ago from my great aunt.
Over the years, I adjusted the recipe a little bit to modernize it and to reduce some of the calories.
Potato Stuffed Meatloaf
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. lean ground pork
1 tablespoon onion, minced
2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork and onion. Stir in the horseradish sauce, beaten egg, salt and pepper until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Place the mixture in a 9" by 5" by 3" loaf pan and pat it down so that it measures approximately 1" thick in size.
Potato Stuffing Topping
4 cups mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika spice
2 tablespoons pimento, minced
2 tablespoons green pepper, finely chopped
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/4 cup cold milk
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, salt, paprika and pimento together. Stir in the finely chopped green pepper, beaten eggs and cold milk until mixture is thoroughly combined. Pour the potato mixture on top of the meat mixture. Bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: If desired, sprinkle your favorite cheese on top and place back into the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. To cut calories, I would suggest a reduced-fat shredded cheese. If you like bread crumbs, you could sprinkle a 1/4 cup of crumbs on top and then sprinkle your shredded cheese on top of that.
