Directions
Meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Stir the breadcrumbs with the egg whites and milk in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic. Gently mix in the beef just until evenly incorporated (do not over mix). Press into a greased 9-inch (1.5 L) deep-dish pie plate. Bake for 30 minutes.
Potatoes: Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until fork tender; drain well. Transfer to a bowl and mash. Add the egg whites, sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Use an electric mixer to beat until fluffy. Carefully spread the potatoes over the meatloaf; swirl to resemble a meringue-topped pie.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are set and the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F(74°C) when tested with an instant read thermometer. Broil for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Tips
