Meatloaf

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Meatloaf

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Add the Topping

    Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Rest and Slice

    Remove from the oven, let it rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Drain and Mash

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