Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 whisked large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cups ketchup
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups mashed potatoes (prepared and seasoned)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, whisked eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together with clean hands until just combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed but not overworked.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan, pressing gently to form an even layer.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes if not already done. Ensure they are well-seasoned and creamy.
Once the meatloaf has baked for 45 minutes, remove it from the oven and drain any excess fat.
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the meatloaf as the 'snow topping.' Use a spatula to create peaks or swirls for visual effect.
Sprinkle the mashed potato topping with parmesan cheese and a light dusting of paprika for color.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly browned and the cheese is melted.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Snow Top Meatloaf with your favorite side dishes!
