Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to shape it into a loaf. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 4

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the mashed potatoes. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve slices of the meatloaf alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
