This is a simple meatloaf recipe that uses 2c. frozen hashbrown potatos (plain, just shredded potatoes) in place of breadcrumbs. It stretches the meat a bit. I used a mixture of meatloaf mix and a little ground sirloin, because I didn't want to use all pork. I thought it was really good and I enjoyed the potatoes inside the meatloaf.

I served this with roasted carrots and potatoes and reheated Parker House rolls from the freezer.  Overall, a very nice, simple winter meal.

I had a tiny bit of trouble with the recipe, because the bacon takes longer for me to cook than recipes tell me it should. Perhaps I need to chop it smaller. Also, the "minced" onions it called for started to over-brown. So I will chop the bacan smaller and the onions larger next time.

I haven't had hash in ages, and this was great. I definitely will have it again, if only to use the rest of the bag of the hash browns that I bought.
