Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Start by mixing you beef, milk, eggs, breadcrumbs and seasoning in a bowl until well combined.

Notes

Mashed Potato Directions
I love rich mashed potatoes and love cooking them in my instant pot. Either way you like to make them, when you're ready to mash I add in 1/2 cup to 1 cup of milk, 1/2 block of cream cheese, a sprinkle of Asiago, salt, pepper and garlic salt.
If you want to make the meatloaf seasoning mix from scratch: 
Meatloaf Seasoning Mix
  • 4 teaspoons dried mustard
  • 4 teaspoons paprika
  • 3 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoon basil
  • 2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
Mix all together and store in a spice jar. This will make enough for 3 meatloafs. You can always double this mix for larger quantities and store in a larger jar.
