What is a stuffed meatloaf?
Now, I said this was a stuffed meatloaf recipe. You might wonder what that means. This Lipton meatloaf recipe is stuffed full of hashbrowns and cheese to add something extra to this main dish. Browned hashbrowns and cheese go so well in this meatloaf you will wonder why you have never tried this before.
Meatloaf Gravy – oh yes!!
In addition to using a package of the Lipton Mushroom Onion soup mix inside of the meatloaf, you will get a chance to make a cheesy gravy to go on top of this meatloaf. Never tried a meatloaf gravy? It doesn’t get much easier than this. You will make the soup, and add in some flour, and cheese. This gravy is outstanding. Best of all this cheesy gravy reheats really well. So you can take your meatloaf to a whole new level.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe, but it turned out to be pretty good. I used the shredded hash brown mixture and cooked it slightly before putting it on top of the beef. It was a nice change from the usual meatloaf I usually make.
