# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. In a large mixing bowl, blend ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper until just combined.
02 -
Form the mixture into a loaf and position it on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 71°C. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
03 -
While the meatloaf bakes, scrub potatoes and pierce each with a fork. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or microwave 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Halve each potato and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
04 -
Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Incorporate shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions until well mixed.
05 -
Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins. Top with extra cheddar cheese. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
06 -
Serve meatloaf slices with loaded potatoes. Garnish with additional green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Enhance flavour by adding grated vegetables, such as carrot or zucchini, to the meatloaf.
02 -
Incorporate chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the potato mixture for extra heat.
03 -
Both meatloaf and filled potatoes can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until baking.
