Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 kg ground beef (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

Vegetable oil, ground beef, onions, and cornstarch can be found at most grocery stores.
Beef bouillon cubes and creamy cheese spread are widely available in the dairy or international aisles of supermarkets.
Fresh parsley can be found in the produce section of grocery stores or specialty markets.

Preparation method

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat

  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 smooth
  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 mixture is uniform
  8. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish or casserole, spreading evenly
  9. Cover the surface of the meatloaf with the creamy cheese spread, spreading into 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
