Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a loaf pan or baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, milk, egg, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, parsley, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and press it into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until very tender. Drain well.
Mash the potatoes with butter and milk until smooth. Stir in half of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
Remove meatloaf from oven and spread mashed potatoes on top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Return to oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve.

Notes

Use russet or all-purpose potatoes for creamiest texture.
Add chopped bell peppers or grated carrots to meatloaf for extra flavor and nutrition.
Substitute cheddar with mozzarella or your favorite cheese blend.
For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or oregano.
