The result is an incredibly moist, flavorful meatloaf that’s loaded with all the comforting flavors of a loaded baked potato. It’s the perfect family dinner that brings together two beloved comfort foods into one satisfying dish that everyone will love.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound ground beef

    • 1 cup mashed potatoes

    • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    • 1 medium onion, diced

    • 1 clove garlic, minced

    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

    • 1 large egg

    • 1/2 cup milk

    • 0.5 teaspoon salt

    • 0.5 teaspoon pepper

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it and set it aside for later use.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly.
    • Add the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into the meat mixture.
    • Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to ensure it’s evenly distributed. Smooth the top for an even surface.
    • Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake the meatloaf for about 60 minutes or until fully cooked. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
    • Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carefully slicing and serving warm.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
