Meatloaf & Potatos Question

[ndkallbreier]

So when you make meatloaf and potatoes.... how much water do you put in or what? I have always made my amazing meatloaf with ketchup and water around it... but now i want some potatoes and im at a loss...

[Loretta]

I've never put water in meatloaf before I usually just combine all the meats and onions and garlic and egg and stick that in a pan, covered, and bake for a while then make tomato gravy or some other sauce to go over it. I would think if you're talking about one pan, you could just add more water until the potatoes are half-covered and watch it until they are cooked and the water is gone?

I was no help Hopefully someone sees this and can assist ya!

I agree with Loretta I've never put water in my meatloaf either

Well it started out my mom recipe. I guess its to keep it moist. All i know is that it comes out damn good. lol

The only water I put in my meatloaf is like, 1/4th cup, with beef bouillon.

I put milk, eggs and tomato sauce in mine. I am not sure what this potato thing is. I would think you cook the potatoes separate?
