Cheeseburger Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
* 1 red onion, finely chopped
* 2/3 cup ketchup
* 2/3 cup bread crumbs
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup bread-and-butter pickle chips, chopped
* 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
* 8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
* 2 pounds new red potatoes
* 3/4 cup heavy cream

Frozen assets
Freeze leftovers for up to a month, then reheat in a 350° oven.
Directions:

1.

Preheat the oven to 400°. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
2.

In a large bowl, combine the ketchup, bread crumbs, eggs and pickles; mix in the onion. Crumble in the beef, add the cheese and mix together. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 4-by-12-inch loaf. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°, about 35 minutes.
3.

Meanwhile, halve the potatoes and place them in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and mash with the cream.
4.

Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mashed potatoes.
