Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

Ground meat can be purchased at any supermarket or butcher shop. Onions and parsley are widely available at grocery stores. Vegetable oil, cornstarch, mashed potatoes, beef bouillon cubes, and creamy cheese spread are common pantry staples found in most supermarkets.

Preparation method

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden
  3. Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook, stirring to break it up, until it loses its pink color and browns
  4. Dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in the meat mixture and stir well
  5. In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water until a smooth mixture is obtained
  6. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the meat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly
  7. Incorporate the mashed potatoes and chopped parsley, mixing everything until the mass is uniform
  8. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish or casserole dish, 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
