Steps:
- In large bowl mix ground meat and A-1 sauce, minced onion, cilantro. Add beaten eggs, mix well. Add crackers or bread crumbs and catalina dressing and white pepper. Mix. Add cheese 1/2 cup at a time and mix, then add another until all cheese is mixed.
- Form into an oval loaf, place in low side baking pan. Chill if desired.
- Bake 350* 1 hour. Allow ten more minutes if chilled. I suggest placing a pan on the rack underneath to catch any grease drips from beef or turkey and the melted cheese sometimes drips from the bottom side. I have used a sharp cheese also. When cold this makes an excellent cold meat loaf sandwich. Some family members prefer cold.
- Cook 3 medium potatoes in water or microwave, peel and mash. Add beaten egg and miracle whip and salt. You may prepare instant potatoes if you desire. Make sure they are a little on the stiff side before adding the egg, miracle whip and salt.
- When loaf is baked, frost with mashed potatoes. Spread on with spatula. Make peaks all over it.You can also brush melted margarine over it but watch carefully when it is broiling.
- Broil about 5 inches away until peaks are browned. Take out of oven. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Broil fresh mushrooms at the same time.
- Let set ten minutes before serving. Cut in wedges. Serve on a platter with broiled fresh mushrooms surrounding the loaf and slices of lemon in between.

TURKEY AND BEEF MEATLOAF
My intent was to make Cranberry Bog Turkey Burgers, ala Rachael Ray. Upon discovering that I had defrosted both beef and turkey rather than 2 pounds of turkey, I took her recipe and added my own twists to make a tender and moist meatloaf. The listed amounts of spices and herbs yield a mild flavor so if you like more punch, you'll want to increase them. For better slicing, let the loaves rest after baking or they will crumble under your knife. Mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce make great side dishes with this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose the right meat: Ground beef or turkey can be used for this recipe. If using ground beef, choose a leaner variety (85% lean or higher).
- Add flavor to your meatloaf: Before baking, mix in some bread crumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. You can also add other seasonings, such as salt, pepper, paprika, or chili powder.
- Cook the meatloaf thoroughly: Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F. Make sure you cover the meatloaf with foil while baking to prevent it from drying out.
- Make a delicious frosting: While the meatloaf is baking, make the frosting by combining ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the frosting thickens.
- Frost the meatloaf: Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, spread the frosting over the top of the meatloaf and return it to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the frosting is bubbly and hot.
Conclusion:
Frosted meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flavorful meatloaf and rich, tangy frosting, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or family dinner.
