Cowboy Meatloaf and Potato Casserole

Loaded Potato Meatloaf Casserole is an easy ground beef casserole recipe loaded with mashed potatoes, bacon and cheese.

I am contemplating buying my first glue gun. I have never been really big into crafts. Oh, I have all the different things I bought to try new crafty projects such as knitting, scrap booking and jewelry making. But, I never actually purchased a glue gun. To me that was for the people who wore the aprons and had jars of paint brushes in their specially designed crafting room. I never took that leap.

But, my daughter wants to be Frieda Kahlo for Halloween. I need to make a head band with faux flowers on it. After much thought I think it is time to purchase a glue gun. I am just wondering how long it will be before I remove the bed from the guest room downstairs and add a series of shelving units and coordinating boxes.

You won’t see any slowpokes among the cowboys and cowgirls when you set this BBQ-saucy meatloaf and potato casserole on the table!
