Make this hearty, cheesy meatloaf casserole with potatoes for an easy weeknight comfort food dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups cooked, cubed potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Press half of the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Scatter the cooked, cubed potatoes over the meat layer. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Top with the remaining meat mixture, pressing it down lightly to form an even layer.
  6. Spread the ketchup or BBQ sauce evenly over the top layer of meat.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes.
  8. Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and return to the oven. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can use leftover mashed potatoes instead of cubed potatoes for a different texture.
  • For a quicker prep time, use pre-cooked diced potatoes from the grocery store.
  • If you prefer a tangier topping, mix 1/4 cup brown sugar into the ketchup before spreading it on top.
