Ingredients for Meat Potatoes Meatloaf

  • Hash Brown Potatoes
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Italian Style Breadcrumbs
  • 2/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lean Ground Beef

How to Make Meat Potatoes Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil or steam the diced potatoes until tender (approximately 15-20 minutes). Drain well and mash slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, beaten eggs, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup ketchup, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the ground beef, mixing lightly but until evenly distributed.
  6. Place a rack inside a broiler pan. Shape the meatloaf mixture into an 8 x 4-inch loaf on the rack.
  7. Spread the remaining 1/3 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf.
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the center is no longer pink. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
