Where to find ingredients
You can find ground beef, fresh produce like onions and parsley, and basic pantry staples at major Canadian grocery chains like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Metro. 'Requeijão' is a specific Brazilian creamy cheese; if unavailable at local supermarkets, check Latin specialty grocery stores or use a thick cream cheese or Boursin as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden.
- Add the ground beef to the pot, stirring to break it up, and cook until browned.
- Crumble the beef bouillon cubes into the meat mixture and stir well to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot with the meat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Fold in the mashed potatoes and chopped parsley, mixing until the base is uniform.
- Transfer the meat mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Spread the creamy requeijão over the top of the meatloaf in a smooth, even layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is melted and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and serve the meatloaf warm.
