- In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water until smooth
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan with the meat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly
- Incorporate the mashed potatoes and chopped parsley, mixing everything until the mixture is uniform
- Transfer the meat mixture to an ovenproof dish or casserole, spreading evenly
- Cover the surface of the meatloaf with the creamy cheese spread, spreading it in a smooth layer
