Meatloaf

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Sauté onions and garlic

    In a pan over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Mix meatloaf ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, sautéed onion and garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form the meatloaf

    Form half of the meat mixture into a loaf shape in the center of a baking dish. Create a well in the center and fill it with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the cheese with the remaining meat mixture, sealing the edges.

  5. 5

    Bake the meatloaf

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Boil potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Drain and mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the meatloaf slices with a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes on the side.
