Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well incorporated, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 4

Mash the cooked potatoes with butter, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese until smooth. Add a splash of milk if needed to reach a creamy consistency.

Step 5

Take half of the meat mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the loaf pan.

Step 6

Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the first meat layer, leaving a small gap around the edges.

Step 7

Top the mashed potatoes with the remaining meat mixture, sealing the edges to keep the potatoes enclosed.

Step 8

Spread ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a glaze.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) in the center.

Step 10

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your Meat Potato Meatloaf!
