• 15 saltine crackers
• 3 Tbsp milk
• 12 oz Yukon gold potatoes
• 16 oz lean ground beef
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 375° F.

2. 2

   Crush the saltine crackers and add them into a mixing bowl. Add in the milk and stir. Let sit.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Place them into a microwave safe bowl and spread them loosely so they aren’t tight packed. Add 2 Tbsp of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, a lid or a plate. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Drain off the water and set aside.

4. 4

   Add the ground beef, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, Dijon, Worcestershire, ¾ tsp of the seasoned salt and egg into the bowl with the crushed saltines. Mix until just combined.

5. 5

   Spray a 8×8 inch dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the meatloaf mixture into the bottom of the pan. Even spread the potatoes on top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining ½ tsp of seasoned salt.

6. 6

   In a small bowl whisk together ketchup, vinegar and brown sugar. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes.

7. 7

   Bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and bake for 5 more minutes.

8. 8

   Slice and serve.
