Loaded Mashed Potato and Meatball Casserole (Page 2 ) | August 8, 2023
  • Ground Beef and Ground Pork: A combination of lean ground beef and ground pork makes a savory, flavorful meatball.
  • Bread Crumbs: Use fine, fresh breadcrumbs. This recipe is not ideal for using Panko.
  • Onion: Dice up the onion, or finely chop it for a more subtle flavor.
  • Eggs: Large, whole eggs bind he mixture together.
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Garlic: Mince the garlic, or put it through a garlic press.
  • Parsley: You can use fresh minced parsley, or parsley flakes.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Fresh or from a jar is fine   

  • For the Loaded Mashed Potatoes

    • Mashed Potatoes: I use store-bought, or you can make your own. I highly recommend my Garlic Mashed Potatoes for this recipe if you have the time to make them from scratch!
    • Parsley: Again, you can do fresh or dried – whichever is best for you.
    • Bacon: Cooked, chopped bacon gives these potatoes a ton of flavor.
    • Garlic: Mince or press the garlic, or just use garlic powder.
    • Eggs: Eggs are optional, but they do add extra richness.
    • Cheddar: A bit of shredded cheddar gives these that classic “loaded” taste.
    • Salt and Pepper

      For the Sauce

      • Olive Oil: For sauteing.
      • Onion: Diced or finely chopped.
      • Garlic: Minced.
      • Tomato Sauce: Plain tomato sauce in a can or a box is the base for this flavorful sauce. You can also use strained tomatoes.
      • Basil: I love fresh basil in this sauce, but dried also works.
      • Salt, Pepper, and Sugar: To balance out the sauce.
      • Thyme and Oregano: You could also use Italian Seasoning blend.

      For the Topping

      • Mozzarella: Mozzarella slices are better than shreds, because they will stay put on top of the meatballs. However, you can use shredded mozzarella if you prefer
