A comforting and versatile cowboy meatloaf potato casserole featuring layers of savory meatloaf, creamy mashed potatoes, and melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat preferred)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef (or turkey), breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Spread the meatloaf mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, then layer the mashed potatoes on top, smoothing them out. Sprinkle cheese over the mashed potatoes.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Optional add-ons include diced bell peppers, corn, smoked paprika, fresh parsley, and hot sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute meat with lentils, black beans, or quinoa.
  • Let the casserole rest after baking for easier serving.
