Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 454 g ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 100 g breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 15 ml ketchup
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Loaded Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 45 g unsalted butter
  • 120 g sour cream
  • 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • 50 g green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Additional shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper until just combined.
  2. Shape the combined mixture into a loaf and place it onto a baking tray or into a loaf pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 71°C. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the meatloaf bakes, scrub potatoes and pierce each with a fork. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or microwave for 8–10 minutes, until tender. Split in half, scoop out the insides, and transfer to a separate bowl.
  4. Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
  5. Fill the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture and top each with additional shredded cheese. Bake for 5–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.
  6. Serve warm slices of meatloaf alongside the loaded potatoes. Garnish with more green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Incorporating grated carrots or zucchini into the meatloaf mixture enhances moisture and flavor.
  • For a spicier option, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the loaded potato filling.
  • Both the meatloaf and the loaded potato filling may be prepared in advance and refrigerated until baking.
