Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared baking dish and shape it into a loaf shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
To make the potato casserole:
While the meatloaf is baking, place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes and mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Once the meatloaf and potato casserole are ready, serve them together for a delightful and comforting meal. The savory meatloaf pairs perfectly with the creamy and cheesy potato casserole, creating a harmony of flavors. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh from the oven.
