How to Make Cheesy Loaded Meatloaf Casserole
- Make the meatloaf layer: Combine ground beef with breadcrumbs, egg, seasonings, and ketchup or BBQ sauce. Press into the bottom of a baking dish and bake until mostly cooked through.
- Prepare mashed potatoes: Use fresh or leftover mashed potatoes, seasoned to your liking. Stir in some shredded cheese for an extra creamy top layer.
- Assemble: Spread the mashed potatoes over the cooked meatloaf base, then sprinkle generously with cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Bake again: Return to the oven and bake until everything is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is perfectly melted.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped chives or green onions and serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
