Ingredients

Your favorite meatloaf recipe

Mashed potatoes

Ketchup

Cherry tomatoes

Two round cake pans

Directions

Prepare your favorite meatloaf recipe as you normally would, but, before baking, divide the mixture into the two round cake pans and pat it flat

Bake as usual, but shorten the cooking time (these thinner meatloaves won't take nearly as long to cook).

While the meatloaf is in the oven, make a batch of mashed potatoes, adding a little extra milk to them and whipping them with an electric beater until they are fluffy and spreadable

When the meatloaves are done, invert one of them onto a round plate

Cover the meat with a thick, even layer of mashed potatoes.

Place the other meatloaf on top of the potato layer, and finish frosting the "cake" with the remaining potatoes

Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes to look like cherries

Just before serving, decorate the top of your cake with ketchup. Write a personalized message, or just a simple "Happy April Fool's Day!"

Enjoy!!
