Copycat Costco Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef or beef/pork mix
- 1/2 onion pulsed in food processor
- 2 cloves garlic pulsed with onion
- 1/2 cup oatmeal pulsed in food processor
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup bbq sauce
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 2 pounds mashed potatoes
- 1 stick butter softened
- milk enough for consistency you prefer
- 1/2 cup sour cream or a Boursin cheese
- salt pepper and garlic salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare a 9x13 baking dish. I used tin foil to create a wall in the middle, maybe 3" high so food doesn't spill into each other. Spray with nonstick spray.
- To a large pot add water and potatoes. Boil until fork tender.
- Drain potatoes, add back to large pot.
- Add butter, sour cream, milk and seasonings. Use a hand mixer and mix until creamy.
- In a food processor add oatmeal, onion and garlic. Pulse until fine and looks like a rough paste.
- Add all meatloaf ingredients into a large bowl. Mix by hand or with hand mixer.
- Place mashed potatoes in half the baking dish, meatloaf in the other half.
- Mix up glaze.
- Add glaze to top of meatloaf and spread in a thin layer. Add a few dollops of butter on top of the potatoes.
- Bake until meat reaches at least 165 degrees internally and glaze has caramelized.
