How to make Loaded Potato Meatloaf Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees.
Step 2: Gently mix the beef, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Then, transfer this into a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.
Step 3: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, uncovered. Take the meatloaf out of the oven and remove excess fat.
Step 4: Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a pot with just enough water for about 15 minutes over high heat.
Step 5: Once the potatoes are tender, drain the water. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper, then mash until creamy.
Step 6: Spread the mashed potatoes over the meatloaf and top with cheese and bacon.
Step 7: Bake for 15 minutes more until the bacon is sizzling, the cheese is bubbling, and the mashed potatoes are a bit crispy.
