Description

A comforting casserole that blends the flavors of traditional meatloaf with cheesy mashed potatoes and crispy bacon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, 1/2 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
  3. Press the meat mixture into a greased baking dish, shaping it into an even layer.
  4. Spread the mashed potatoes over the meatloaf layer, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
  5. Top with the remaining ketchup, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the meat to keep it tender. Don’t skip the bacon for extra flavor.
