Ultimate Loaded Potato Meatloaf

1.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it and set it aside for later use.

2.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly.

3.

Add the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into the meat mixture.

4.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to ensure it's evenly distributed. Smooth the top for an even surface.

5.

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake the meatloaf for about 60 minutes or until fully cooked. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

6.

Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carefully slicing and serving warm.
