minced (optional)<br \/>\nSalt and pepper to taste<br \/>\nChopped parsley for garnish (optional)<\/p>\n<p>Instructions:<\/p>\n<p>For the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n<p>Preheat Oven:<\/p>\n<p>Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<br \/>\nPrepare Meatloaf Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork (if using), breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly<br \/>\nincorporated:<\/p>\n<p>Shape the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare the Glaze:<\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.<\/p>\n<p>Bake the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n<p>Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160\u00b0F (71\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>Rest the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n<p>Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n<p>For the Mashed Potatoes:<\/p>\n<p>Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.<\/p>\n<p>Drain and Mash:<\/p>\n<p>Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher until smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Add Butter and Cream:<\/p>\n<p>Stir in the butter and heavy cream (or milk) until the potatoes are creamy and fluffy. Add salt, pepper, and garlic (if using) to taste.<\/p>\n<p>Serve:<\/p>\n<p>Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with slices of the cheesy meatloaf.<\/p>\n<p>Description:<\/p>\n<p>Cheesy Meatloaf on Creamy Mashed Potatoes is the ultimate comfort food that combines a rich, savory meatloaf with cheesy goodness, placed on a creamy bed of mashed potatoes. The meatloaf is moist and flavorful, with cheddar cheese melting throughout the mixture, while the mashed potatoes are buttery and velvety. Topped with a sweet and tangy ketchup glaze, this dish is packed with satisfying flavors that will make you want to go back for seconds. Perfect for any cozy dinner!<\/p>\n<p>Tips:<\/p>\n<p>Add More Cheese:<\/p>\n<p>For an extra cheesy meatloaf, try adding a mix of cheeses such as mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a sharp cheese like gouda.<br \/>\nMeat Variety: You can mix in ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version of the meatloaf.<br \/>\nMash Variations: For extra flavor, try adding roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese, or fresh herbs like chives to your mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Rest the Meatloaf:<\/p>\n<p>Letting the meatloaf rest after baking helps the juices redistribute, keeping it moist and easier to slice.<\/p>\n<p>Make Ahead:<\/p>\n<p>Both the meatloaf and mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time. Simply store them in the fridge and reheat before serving.<\/p>\n<p>Corrections:<\/p>\n<p>Ensure Proper Meatloaf Texture:<\/p>\n<p>If the meatloaf seems too loose or falls apart, try adding a bit more breadcrumbs or an extra egg to help bind the mixture together.<\/p>\n<p>Mashed Potato Consistency:<\/p>\n<p>If the mashed potatoes are too thick, gradually add more \u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">milk<\/span> or cream to reach the desired consistency. If too runny, you can mash in a bit more butter or cream cheese to thicken them.<\/p>\n<p>Glaze Adjustment:<\/p>\n<p>If the glaze seems too tangy or sweet, adjust the proportions of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to suit your taste<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheesy Meatloaf on Creamy Mashed Potatoes is a comforting, hearty dish that combines two classic favorites: a savory, cheesy meatloaf&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Cheesy Meatloaf on Creamy Mashed Potatoes - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"Cheesy Meatloaf on Creamy Mashed Potatoes is a comforting, hearty dish that combines two classic favorites: a savory, cheesy meatloaf served over a bed of cream"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1605"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1607,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605\/revisions\/1607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
