Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups onions, chopped (about 2 medium onions)
- 3 pounds ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers, about 1 sleeve
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup sweet barbecue sauce
- 4 cups skins-on mashed potatoes
- parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 6½x10-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add oil.
- When the oil is hot, add onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine beef, eggs, cooked onions, garlic, crackers, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour in the milk, starting with ¼ cup, and mix. The texture should be soft, but not runny. Add the remaining milk, as needed.
- To the prepared pan, add the meat mixture, making a loaf shape.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ketchup and barbecue sauce. Mix well and spread over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- After the meatloaf has been baked, carefully add the mashed potatoes to the top. Use an offset spatula to smooth the potatoes into an even layer.
- Broil the frosted meatloaf for 4-5 minutes, or until golden.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and slicing.
