- Bake for 25-30 minutes, remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until internal temperature is 165.

Mashed Potatoes

Notes
Tips
- It's easiest to mix the meatloaf with your hands.
- Mix the meatloaf ingredients until just combined. Overworking the meat will make it dry.
- Bring your cream cheese to room temperature so it mixes easily and completely into the mashed potatoes.
- Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Boiling them longer makes their texture mushy.
