1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1/3 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup sweet honey barbecue sauce (i.e. Kraft)
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 (24-ounce) package Ore-Ida Steam n' Mash Russet potatoes
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup bacon bits
1/4 cup French fried onions
2/3 cup Mexican style shredded cheese mix

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with baking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the ground beef, onions, bread crumbs, barbecue sauce, beaten egg, and chili powder just until well-combined. Press the meat mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Bake it for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Test for doneness with a meat thermometer. It should read 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
While baking, microwave the potatoes according to package instructions in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Mix in the butter, milk, parsley, and garlic powder until well-combined. Gently mix in the bacon bits and French-fried onions.
Remove the dish from the oven and turn on the broiler. Top the meat mixture with the potato mix, followed by the shredded cheese.
Place the baking dish 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Let the cowboy meatloaf rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
