  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatloaf:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
    • Press the meatloaf mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bake the Meatloaf:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
  3. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
    • While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes if you haven’t already. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the meatloaf layer.
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
    • Top with the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.
  5. Bake the Casserole:
    • Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
