The picture: mashed potatoes and corporate meatloaf. Meatloaf was free.
Cost per person: $1.50
Of course the corporate meatloaf is just a side dish. The meal is mashed potatoes. My first “you are in charge of x” when growing up was to make the mashed potatoes. This served me well as a teen because I could make gigantic batches to insure that I wasn’t going to starve eating whatever the other course was even if it was extremely low calorie 90s recipes. Between my brother and I we could easily eat three or four pounds of potatoes in a single sitting. There were never any leftovers.
What is a “corporate” meatloaf
Mass-produced product from a grocery store that requires nothing but heating and serving.
Explains why it looks like a brownie covered in ketchup.
Oh that makes sense, honestly looks tasty
Flavor was within typical range and so was the texture. I’m not really a fan of meatloaf so I’m not the best judge. But it was edible. Though that the whole thing was only 660 calories makes me think it has a lot of filler in it.
