some instant mashed potatoes, enough for 4 servings, as directed on the

Set the oven control at broil/or 550 degrees F. Broil the slices with the

slices and sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Broil until the cheese is
melted, about 2 minutes and serve hot. SOUPED-UP MEAT LOAF: For four
1/2-inch slices of meat loaf, mix 1/2 to 1 can of your favorite condensed
