500g potatoes, peeled and chopped

METHOD
Spray and line 6 mini-loaf pans with baking paper. If you don’t have mini-loaf pans you can use a large loaf pan.
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft. Add grated carrot, zucchini and frozen peas and corn. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until moisture has evaporated. Remove. Cool for 10 minutes.
Place beef, stuffing mix and egg in a large bowl. Add vegetable mixture. Season. Using your hands mix well. Divide mixture among prepared pans. Smooth surface. Place on a tray and cover with foil.
Cook at 200˚C/180˚C fan-forced for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Remove foil.
Boil potatoes until tender. Drain. Add butter and milk and mash until smooth. Season. Divide among tops of meatloaves. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Return meatloaves to oven for a further 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.
Serve with salad.
