Shape meatloaf: Transfer meat mixture to prepared baking dish and shape into a loaf.
Make topping: In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread over meatloaf.
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Make mashed potatoes: While meatloaf is baking, place chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to pot. Add milk and butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble and bake: Once meatloaf is done baking, spread mashed potatoes over the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
