# How to Make It:
01 -
Flip your oven on to 190°C. Grab a big bowl and pile in pepper, salt, basil, oregano, ketchup, Worcestershire, milk, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, chopped onion, and ground beef. Dive in with your hands (or a big spoon) and mash everything until it just holds together—don’t overmix it.
02 -
Scoop out your meat mixture and loosely form it into a loaf shape. Put it on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, checking for a 71°C center. After baking, let it rest about 10 minutes so it’s way easier to slice.
03 -
While your meatloaf is doing its thing, give the potatoes a good scrub and poke them a few times with a fork. Either bake them 45 minutes or hit the microwave for 8–10 minutes so they’re soft. Cut each one open, scoop out the inside, and drop all the fluffy potato into another bowl.
04 -
Mix the scooped-out potato with a slab of butter, a big dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle over some salt and pepper. Stir in shredded cheddar with half the chopped green onions until you get yummy, creamy goodness.
05 -
Spoon that cheesy potato mix back into the empty shells. Add a pile of shredded cheddar to the top. Pop ’em back in the oven for about 5–10 minutes, or until your cheese is melted and golden brown.
06 -
Slice the meatloaf and place huge loaded potatoes next to each serving. Top with extra green onion or a scoop of sour cream if you want.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Toss some grated carrots or zucchini in the mix if you want your meatloaf to be extra moist and flavorful.
02 -
Add chopped jalapeños or pour in a bit of hot sauce with the potato mix if you like a spicy kick.
