1

Prepare the meatloaf mixture

In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup of finely chopped bell pepper, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

2

Prepare the mashed potato filling

In a separate bowl, prepare 2 cups of mashed potatoes. You can use leftover mashed potatoes or make a fresh batch. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for an extra cheesy filling.

3

Layer the meatloaf and mashed potato filling

Take half of the meatloaf mixture and press it into the bottom of a greased loaf pan, creating an even layer. Make a slight indentation down the center. Spoon the mashed potato filling into the indentation, making sure it's level. Top the mashed potatoes with another layer of the remaining meatloaf mixture, pressing it down gently to seal the edges.

4

Bake the meatloaf

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the loaf pan in the center of the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

5

Serve and enjoy

Carefully slice the meatloaf into thick, juicy portions. Each slice should reveal a lovely mashed potato center. Serve with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
