My gram would make something like this back in the day. I do it the same way and find it has better texture than the one posted here. Sliced potatoes on the bottom of a casserole dish, then a thin layer of onions, then a thin layer of thinly sliced green peppers. Season as you go with S&P. Repeat the process. Cover with your favorite meatloaf recipe. Poke holes straight thru then pour a small can tomato sauce over all. Add a little water and bake it. So good and holds a ton of fond memories.

This is an okay recipe. I didn't think the tomato sauce would go too well with either rice or mashed potatoes so I used some slightly less-than-al dente macaroni. Works well. And I can't eat hamburger anything without garlic so I was right generous with that as well.
