Mr. Engineer's Opinion:
The meatloaf has wonderful flavor, but was a little too dry. I either cooked it too long, or didn't use enough liquid ingredients. The cheesy vegetables, on the other hand, were very soupy. Next time, I will let the veggies dry out more after draining the water. The mashed potatoes were a huge hit, and we especially loved the flavor boost of the ranch dip!
