Where to find ingredients
Vegetable oil, ground beef, onions, and fresh parsley can be found at most grocery stores. Bouillon cubes and cornstarch are common pantry staples available at supermarkets.

- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, stirring to break it up, until it loses its pink color and browns

- In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water until a homogeneous mixture is obtained
- 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 mass is uniform
- Transfer the meat mixture to an ovenproof dish or baking pan, spreading evenly
- Cover the surface of the meatloaf with the creamy cheese spread, spreading it in a smooth layer
