Steps
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C) (190°C (375 °F)). Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Add the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, Italian breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix with your hands or a fork just until evenly combined; do not overwork the meat.
Press the meat mixture into an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Spread the remaining ketchup over the surface.
Bake the meatloaf layer for about 25 minutes, until mostly set and the center reaches at least 160°F (71 °C) (71°C (160 °F)). Carefully drain excess grease if needed.
While the meatloaf bakes, place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the warm pot. Mash with the butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the mashed potatoes over the partially baked meatloaf and spread them into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the potatoes, then scatter the crumbled bacon over the cheese.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling and the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71 °C) (71°C (160 °F)) in the center.
Rest the casserole for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and cut into portions.
