1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 kg ground meat (beef, pork, or mixed)
2 meat bouillon cubes
1 cup water
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup mashed potatoes
Fresh parsley, chopped, to taste

Where to find ingredients

You can find these ingredients at most supermarkets and local grocery stores. Fresh parsley and onions are typically in the produce section. Ground meat, oil, cornstarch, and mashed potatoes are usually found in their respective aisles.

  5. In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water until you have a smooth mixture
  6. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan with the meat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly
  7. Incorporate the mashed potatoes and chopped parsley, mixing everything until the mixture is uniform
  8. Transfer the meat mixture to an ovenproof dish or casserole, spreading evenly
  9. Cover the surface of the meatloaf with the creamy cheese spread, spreading it in a smooth layer
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese spread melts and lightly browns
  11. Remove from the oven and serve the meatloaf hot
