👨‍🍳 Preparación

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion with a teaspoon of oil for 3 minutes until translucent, then let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a compact loaf about 6 cm tall.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon ketchup with the brown sugar and a teaspoon of mustard to make the glaze, then spread it evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

  6. 6

    Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).

  7. 7

    While the meatloaf bakes, boil the potato cubes in salted water for 15 minutes until very tender, then drain and mash with the butter and a splash of warm milk until creamy.

  8. 8

    Steam or boil the green peas for 3 minutes until bright green and tender, then season lightly with salt.

  9. 9

    Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

  10. 10

    Slice the meatloaf and plate it on a warm plate next to a generous serving of mashed potatoes and a spoonful of green peas.
