1 lb. ground round beef
1 p. ground pork
1/2 pkg. instant mashed potato flakes (or more)
1 cup shredded Mozzarella (or Mexican "fiesta" blend) cheese
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp. taco hot sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)

Mix all ingredients with a spoon, just until combined. Don't mash together with your hands. Add more potato flakes if mixture appears too moist. Form into a loaf and place in a greased meatloaf pan or a baking dish.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Tent with foil if top browning too much. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
