  ~-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Prepare the basic Meat Loaf -- except spread the mixture into an ungreased
  baking pan 9 X 9 X 2 or 8 X 8 X 2-inches.  Omit the catsup and decrease
  the baking time to 40 to 50 minutes.  Drain off the excess fat.  Spread
  the hot potatoes evenly over the meat in the pan and sprinkle with the
  shredded cheese.  Bake until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 4 minutes.
  Serve hot on a slightly heated platter.
