1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 box frozen chopped spinach (10 oz) thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup minced onion
1 large egg

1 cup shredded lowfat cheddar cheese, NOT fat free
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

CHEESY MASHED POTATOES

Recipe

MEATLOAF: Mix beef pork, minced garlic, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and 1 whole egg. On a piece of waxed paper, pat meat mixture into a rectangle (about 9x15"). Mix spinach, onion, egg, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Spread over patted meat mixture. Starting at a narrow end, roll meatloaf up in a jelly roll fashion. Place in a loaf pan (one with a fat drip insert). Bake in a preheated 400° oven 1 hour. About half way through cooking time top meatloaf with potatoes (like frosting a cake). Continue cooking (30 minutes) until potatoes are nice & browned & meatloaf is cooked through. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Serves 4-6

CHEESY MASHED POTATOES: Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring potatoes to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to med. and cook until tender. Remove from heat, drain, add milk (or you can use chicken broth of equal amount). Mash potatoes until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir in shredded cheese, cover and let sit until cheese melts, about 3 to 5 minutes.
