Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and beans on a plate.
Meatloaf pairs perfectly with mounds of creamy mashed potatoes, and you can take this meal up a notch by stuffing the mashed potatoes directly into your meatloaf.

The recipe for this dish basically follows a classic beef meatloaf recipe; the first step is to make the ground beef mix and pat half of it in a loaf pan or baking sheet.

Load the mashed potatoes on top of the mix by making a well or carefully placing them centered and away from the edges. Top with the rest of the ground beef to form a loaf shape.
