Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, milk, egg, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Shape the Loaf

    Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  5. 5

    Rest

    Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook Potatoes

    In a large pot, add cubed potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Drain and Mash

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

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
