Place the meat mixture into a well-greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through.
We take the dish out of the oven and drain the excess fat.
Prepare mashed potatoes according to package instructions.
Spread the cooked mashed potatoes over the meatloaf mixture in the baking dish.
