Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan
  • 1 mixer and large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 slice bread toasted and grinded to make breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 of 1 chopped onion
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Meatloaf Sauce

  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg ground
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard ground powder
  • 1-3 tbps brown sugar

Mashed Potatoes

  • 4 large potatoes peeled and cut
  • 1 tbsp dried green onion/chives
  • 1-2 tsp garlic salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 -3/4 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Toast a slice of bread, once toasted, blend it into breadcrumbs, and put them into a large bowl
  • Add the ground beef to the bowl with the breadcrumbs.
  • Add the ketchup, tomato paste, chopped onions, egg, Worcestershire Sauce, and all of the seasonings to the bowl with the beef and breadcrumbs.
  • Mix everything up with your hand and mush it together until everything is mixed well.
  • Add the meatloaf mix to a parchment-lined loaf pan.
  • Place in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf is cooking, make the sauce that you will put on top of it. A few minutes before it is finished cooking, just mix all of the ingredients.
  • While waiting for the meatloaf to cook, start your mashed potatoes by starting a large pot of water to boil with a sprinkle of salt in it.
  • Peel and cut your potatoes and boil them until soft enough to mash, around 25 minutes.
  • While waiting for the potatoes to cook, add the mashed potato ingredients to a large mixing bowl so they will be ready for the potatoes once they are ready to mash.
  • After the meatloaf is finished cooking for around 45 minutes, pull it out of the oven and spread the sauce all over the top of it.
  • Put the meatloaf back into the oven and cook until it reaches 165 degrees internally. It should only take around 5-10 minutes, depending on how much beef you used.
  • Once the potatoes are soft enough to mash, add them to the large mixing bowl with the previously added ingredients and mix until soft.
  • While they are mixing, microwave a steamer bag of vegetables to go on the side. I usually use green peas, but this time I used broccoli.
