Zubereitung von Basic Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  3. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf in an ungreased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard (if using).
  5. Spoon the ketchup mixture evenly over the meatloaf.
  6. Bake uncovered for 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows it to firm up and prevents it from falling apart.
  8. **Potato Topping:** Prepare instant mashed potatoes according to package directions.
  9. Slice the meatloaf into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  10. Broil the slices 3-4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes.
  11. Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the broiled slices. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Broil for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. **Souped-Up Meatloaf:** In a skillet, combine cream soup and milk. Heat to a simmer, stirring frequently. Add meatloaf slices and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to coat both sides.
  14. Serve hot and enjoy!
