Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, ketchup, and seasonings.
- Mix until just combined and shape the mixture into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- While the meatloaf is baking, prepare your mashed potatoes by boiling them until tender, then mashing with sour cream, butter, and seasoning to taste.
- Once the meatloaf is done, take it out of the oven and spread shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
