Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C (thermostat 6).

  2. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes. Put them in the saucepan.

  3. Cook the potatoes

    Cover the potatoes with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 min over medium heat.

  4. Mix the meat

    In the mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of salt. Knead well.

    Tip · To keep the mixture from sticking to your fingers, wet your hands a little before shaping the meatloaf.

  5. Shape the meatloaf

    Shape the mixture into a long loaf and set it in the nonstick skillet. Brown it for 5 min over medium heat, turning it gently.

  6. Bake the meatloaf

    Bake the meatloaf at 180 °C for 30 min so it cooks all the way through.

  7. Mash the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes, then add the milk and butter. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.

    Tip · If the mashed potatoes are too thick, add a little hot milk to adjust the texture.

  8. Glaze the meatloaf

    Take the meatloaf out of the oven, spread the rest of the ketchup over the top and put it back in the oven for 5 min to glaze.
