Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups mashed potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 3

Press the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish to form the base layer.

Step 4

Bake the meatloaf layer for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 5

While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the shepherd’s pie topping by warming the frozen mixed vegetables in a skillet with the butter over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Layer the cooked vegetables evenly over the baked meatloaf base.

Step 7

Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the vegetable layer, ensuring they fully cover the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potato layer.

Step 9

Dust the top with paprika for both color and added flavor.

Step 10

Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the Meatloaf Shepherd's Pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
