🧀🥔 Cheesy Stuffed Potato Meatloaf

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with foil or parchment, or use a loaf pan.

2. Make the Meat Mixture:

   • In a large bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.

   • Mix just until combined (don’t overwork it).

3. Assemble the Meatloaf:

   • On a sheet of parchment or foil, flatten the meat mixture into a rectangle (about ½ inch thick).

   • Spread mashed potatoes down the center, leaving space at the edges.

   • Sprinkle cheese over the mashed potatoes.

4. Roll and Seal:

   • Carefully lift the sides of the meat and fold it over the filling, sealing the edges to form a loaf.

   • Transfer to baking tray or loaf pan, seam side down.

5. Bake:

   • Brush the top with ketchup or BBQ sauce if using.

   • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temp should be 160°F / 71°C).

   • Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
