1/2 lb ground beef
5 cups seasoned mashed potatoes
1/2 cup minced onion
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tbsp flour
3/4 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 cup shredded pasteurized process cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with foil extending about 1/2 inch above sides. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, 2 cups of the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, dill, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Press mixture into loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Carefully remove meatloaf by lifting foil from pan.
