Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Meatloaf Base
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
Mix until just combined — avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Press the mixture into a greased loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
Step 2: Bake the Meatloaf
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes.
While it bakes, start preparing the potato layer.
Step 3: Make the Loaded Potato Topping
Boil cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (12–15 minutes).
Drain and mash with butter, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
Fold in shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Assemble and Broil
Carefully spread the loaded mashed potatoes on top of the baked meatloaf.
Sprinkle a bit more cheese on top if desired.
Return to oven and broil for 2–3 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Variations
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or diced jalapeños to the potato mix.
Low-Carb Version: Substitute cauliflower mash for the potatoes.
Extra Cheesy: Add a layer of shredded mozzarella between the meat and potatoes before baking.
Make Ahead: Prepare the meatloaf the night before and add the potato topping just before baking.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven or microwave until warm.
Freeze slices individually for up to 2 months — great for meal prep!
