Because we are easily persuaded, after watching the premiere of the revamped "Tyler's Ultimate," we wanted to make his "ultimate" meatloaf with mashed potatoes. As you can see from the recipe, this involves making a tomato-red pepper relish that goes in, on, and beside the meatloaf. My ultimate review of this recipe is generally positive, but I will say that meatloaf is just one of those dishes that you grew up with, and anything different from what your mom or grandmother or whoever made just doesn't cut it when you want meatloaf. We did like this recipe, but I don't know that we'll stray from our standard meatloaf formula again.
So anyways, you start with the tomato-pepper relish - mixing onion, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves, ketchup, worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
About half of this relish is added to the meat, bread, egg, seasoning mixture that becomes the world's biggest meatloaf. Mmm, delicious bacon on top. You can see that the meatloaf stretches from the edge of one burner, across another burner, to an inch or two past the counter's edge. It was large.
After baking for about 75 minutes, our finished product was still insanely large and unwieldy (fell apart a bit). We served it with some roasted garlic mashed potatoes which were delish.
