Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs of ground beef, 2 eggs, and 1 packet of chicken flavored stove top stuffing.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a 1.5 quart pan and shape it into a loaf.

Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for about an hour, checking for doneness.

For the cheesy potatoes, slice 5 medium potatoes and layer them in a 9 by 7 pan with half of a diced small onion.

Lightly pepper the potatoes and pour 1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream over them.

Grate about 1 cup of Pecorino Romano cheese and cover the potatoes with it.

Cover the potato dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven alongside the meatloaf for about an hour.
