Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh ground meat and produce at local butchers or supermarkets. Requeijão cremoso, a distinctive Brazilian cream cheese, is best sourced from specialty ethnic food shops or stores stocking international goods. Cornstarch and basic pantry staples are available at any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden
- Add the ground meat to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it browns
- Dissolve the beef stock cubes into the meat mixture and stir well
- 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 until the base is uniform
- Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly
- Cover the surface of the meatloaf with the requeijão cremoso, spreading it into a smooth layer
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15-20 minutes, or until the topping has melted and lightly browned
- Remove from the oven and serve the meatloaf while hot
