Large loaf of meat dinner

Yeah, so I've been craving hash brown casserole for ages it seems like...so it had to become a part of a weekend meal of food. And what goes with HBC? Meatloaf of course. And what is a great meatloaf - the Meatloaf Cordon Bleu care of Miss M in Buffalo!

I won't tell you how to make meatloaf - every family has their own magical mixture of meat, bread or breadcrumbs, milk, egg, seasonings. Then you press said meat mixture out onto a washable surface and layer lovely ham and swiss on top....
Then roll up and squish into a giant casserole dish and decoratively top with ketchup (sooo classy)
Meanwhile, onto the HBC. Here's the creamy base - butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream...

Cheddar cheese added...
Then a package of frozen potatoes...and into the baking dish we go...
Crunchy cornflake and butter topping added and an hour in the oven and voila! HBC!
Part of a balanced dinner served with mushy canned green beans...R's favorite! As you can see, the "loaf" tried to break apart as it was wrenched from the overstuffed casserole dish...normally my meatloaves hold together a bit better. But regardless, it was still tasty!

my only question: how does this homemade HBC compare to the Barrels?!

Something was off in my own HBC. It tasted better when I added salt, but it wasn't as creamy. Must revamp recipe...
