Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

For the Loaded Potato Topping:

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (fresh or leftover)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:
    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Shape and Bake the Meatloaf:
    Press the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes.
  4. Make the Loaded Potato Topping:
    In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in crumbled bacon (save some for topping) and green onions.
  5. Top the Meatloaf:
    Remove meatloaf from oven after the initial bake. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and extra bacon.
  6. Final Bake:
    Return to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
