Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
- 4 peeled and halved Garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Salt (for potatoes)
- 2 tbsp, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic (2 cloves), ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but avoid overmixing.
Transfer the meat mixture to a lightly greased loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf if necessary. Spread a thin layer of ketchup (optional) on top for a glaze.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the garlic smashed potatoes. Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot with the halved garlic cloves and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add the tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic thoroughly, then return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Using a potato masher, smash until the potatoes reach your desired consistency. Season with additional salt if needed.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the meatloaf alongside the garlic smashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
