• plain breadcrumbs↗2⁄3 cup
• salt↗1⁄2 teaspoon
• pepper↗1⁄2 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, add ground turkey, ground pork, onions, 1/3 c cream of mushroom soup, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix together by hand until all ingredients are well blended.

3. 3

   Coat an 8 x 13 or 10 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick spray.

4. 4

   Press half of the meat mixture into a long rectangle in the dish (about 10").

5. 5

   Position the three hash brown patties from the center out (these were rectangular and about the size of an index card - made by Mr. Dee's). There should be an inch of meatloaf all around the edges, and you can add meatloaf where needed.

6. 6

   Spread the rest of the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the three hash brown patties. Try not to get the soup on the meatloaf.

7. 7

   Carefully press the rest of the meat mixture flat between your hands and place piece by piece over the hash browns until completely covered.

8. 8

   Bring the edges of the meatloaf together, pinch and smooth out bumps. No soup should peek through.

9. 9

   Place casserole dish uncovered in oven. Bake for 1 hour.

10. 10

    Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before serving.
