1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan. Evenly spread ketchup over the top.

4. Bake for 1 hour or until the meatloaf is fully cooked. Remove from the oven, top with grated cheddar cheese, and return to the oven just until the cheese melts and becomes golden.

5. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.

6. Mash the potatoes with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until they are creamy and smooth.

7. Serve the classic meatloaf with a generous helping of cheesy mashed potatoes, finishing with an extra sprinkle of grated cheddar on top.
