# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Get your oven going at 190°C. Toss ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a huge bowl. Don’t overmix. Just make sure everything's blended.
02 -
Form that mash into a loaf, then place it into a loaf pan or on a baking tray. Pop it in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Once the inside hits 71°C, pull it out and let it chill for 10 minutes before you slice it up.
03 -
While meatloaf cooks, clean up those potatoes and poke them with a fork. You can bake them in the oven about 45 minutes or choose the microwave for 8 to 10 minutes. When they’re soft, split them open, scoop the insides into a new bowl.
04 -
Mash the potato guts with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper till it’s nice and creamy. Throw in the cheddar and chopped green onions and stir it all together.
05 -
Stuff the potato skins with your mixture. Sprinkle some extra cheddar cheese on top. Pop them back in the oven until the cheese melts and turns a bit golden – should only take 5 to 10 minutes.
06 -
Serve up those thick-cut slices of meatloaf with your cheesy potatoes. Want more? Top them with more green onion or drop a dollop of sour cream on top.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Shredded carrots or zucchini blended in make the meatloaf extra juicy and tasty.
02 -
Want more heat? Try adding jalapeños or dash in some hot sauce to the potato filling.
03 -
Meatloaf and the cheesy potato filling can hang out in the fridge ahead of time till you’re ready to bake.
