Steps to make Cheesy Mash-Topped Meatloaf

1	Cook onion and garlic	16
In a small pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 1 finely chopped onion. Sauté for 5 minutes or until softened, then add 3 crushed garlic cloves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
2	Boil potatoes	15
Meanwhile, in a pot of boiling salted water, cook 750 grams chopped potatoes until tender, about 12-15 minutes.
3	Make mashed potatoes	3
Drain and return to the pot over low heat. Add in 40 grams chopped butter (reserving 10 grams for topping) and ¼ cup milk. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth. Then stir in ¼ cup grated Cheddar and season to taste.
4	Heat oven and prepare a loaf pan	1
Preheat the oven to 355 °F and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches overhang on each side.
5	Make meatloaf mixture	3
In a large bowl, place 750 grams ground beef, ½ cup frozen peas, 1 egg, ¾ cup dried bread crumbs, ¼ cup barbecue sauce, ¼ cup tomato sauce, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, and onion-garlic mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix all the ingredients together until fully combined.
6	Shape the meatloaf	2
Spoon the meatloaf mixture in the prepared loaf pan. Press it down to shape the meatloaf evenly.
7	Bake	25
Bake for 25 minutes or until browned.
8	Remove from oven and increase temperature	1
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and increase the temperature to 390 °F.
9	Add mashed potato topping	2
Spoon the mashed potato topping on top of the meatloaf and dot with the remaining butter.
10	Bake again	25
Return the pan to the oven and bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden.
11	Cool	10
Let the meatloaf stand in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a serving platter.
12	Serve
