Where to find ingredients
Ground meat can be found in the meat section of any supermarket. For a mix, ask your butcher. Vegetable oil, onions, mashed potatoes, cornstarch, and creamy cheese spread are widely available in most supermarket aisles. Beef bouillon cubes can be found in the soup or seasoning aisle. Fresh parsley is typically in the produce section. For Brazilian specialty ingredients like specific cuts of meat or flavorings, check Latin or Brazilian food markets, or the international foods aisle of larger supermarkets. Some specialty items might also be available through online grocery stores specializing in international foods.
Preparation method
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden
- Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook, stirring to break it up, until it loses its pink color and browns
- Dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in the meat mixture and stir well
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water until it forms a smooth mixture
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the meat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly
- Incorporate the mashed potatoes and chopped parsley, mixing everything until the mass is uniform
- Transfer the meat mixture to an oven-safe dish or casserole, spreading it evenly
- Cover the surface of the meatloaf with the creamy cheese spread, spreading it in a smooth layer
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese spread melts and lightly browns
- Remove from the oven and serve the meatloaf hot
