FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I use instant mashed potatoes?

Brown sugar balances the savory flavors and helps create a delicious caramelization – it’s a classic meatloaf ingredient that makes all the difference.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
Don’t overmix the meat mixture
Press meat firmly into an even layer
