This variation of the traditional recipe for meatloaf is similar to Shepherd's Pie since it includes mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce. Everyone will certainly enjoy the savory and delicious flavors of this meatloaf. For a healthier version of this dish, I would use reduced fat cheddar cheese and low sodium Worcestershire sauce. Pair this meatloaf with green beans, and this meal is complete.
