Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients, except potatoes, peas, and tomato soup. Shape into a large, deep ring.
- Place frozen peas in the center of the ring.
- Arrange potatoes around the outside of the ring. If potatoes are large, cut them in half.
- Mix tomato soup with an equal amount of milk; pour over the entire dish.
- Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are done.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some grated cheese or fresh herbs like parsley or thyme into the meat mixture. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can work as a substitute. Using ground turkey or chicken instead of hamburger is a healthier option while still keeping the dish hearty. You can also experiment by adding different vegetables, like carrots or corn, to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this meatloaf dish with a simple side salad or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. It pairs beautifully with Cashew Pea Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, consider serving with steamed vegetables or a side of mashed potatoes. A drizzle of extra tomato soup over the top can enhance the flavor.
