Surprise Meatloaf

How to Make

• Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 F (200 C) degrees; In a bowl, mix the ground beef, garlic, mashed potatoes, soup mix, mustard and ground pepper and salt. Blend well using you hands.

• Step 2: Place a square of plastic film on the counter. Transfer meat to the film and flatten it to cover the lined surface. Place the hard boiled eggs lined up in the center. With the help of the plastic film, roll the meat to mold the loaf around the eggs. Sort of like a jelly roll;

• Step 3: Place in baking pan, drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and bake for about 45 minutes or until meatloaf is dark golden brown (or you may cover the meatloaf with foil before you place in the oven. Bake covered for 20 minutes, remove foil and finish baking it uncovered).

• Step 4: OPTIONAL: Instead of 1 cup of mashed potatoes, you can use carrots, or 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 carrots.
