Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 lbs Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

Step 3

On a piece of parchment paper, flatten the meat mixture into a rectangular shape, approximately 10x12 inches.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the meat, leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges.

Step 5

Carefully roll the meat mixture from one short end to the other to form a log, ensuring the cheese remains inside. Pinch the edges to seal the meatloaf.

Step 6

Transfer the meatloaf to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan, seam-side down.

Step 7

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

While the meatloaf bakes, peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 9

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

Step 12

Serve the meatloaf sliced alongside the mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley if desired.
