2 big eggs
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
Use half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of pepper.
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
Half a cup of ketchup
Two tablespoons of brown sugar.
To make the mashed potatoes:
Amount of Ingredients
2 pounds of peeled and chopped potatoes.
1/2 cup of milk
Butter without salt, 1/4 cup.
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
Regarding the topping:
Amount of Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
Chopped fresh parsley to decorate.
Directions:
1. Prepare the Meatloaf:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Place the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
- In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and brown sugar. Spread this mixture over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Make the Mashed Potatoes:
- While the meatloaf is baking, boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Add the Topping:
- Once the meatloaf is done baking, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top and return it to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
4. Serve:
- Slice the meatloaf and serve it with the creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Enjoy!
