Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Press the refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup and brown sugar to make the glaze. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
If using mashed potatoes as a topping, remove the pie after baking and spread the potatoes evenly over the meatloaf. Sprinkle optional shredded cheese on top.
Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are heated through and the cheese has melted.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
