Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs and Gravy

  • 1 lb Frozen or homemade meatballs, cooked
  • 1 cup Brown gravy, homemade or store-bought

Mashed Potato Layer

  • 4 cups Mashed potatoes, fresh or leftover

Topping

  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Meatballs: Place the cooked meatballs evenly in the prepared baking dish and pour the brown gravy evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Add Mashed Potatoes: Spread the mashed potatoes over the meatballs and gravy, using a spatula to smooth out the surface for even baking.
  4. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes for a golden, melty crust.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese on top is golden brown and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

Notes

  • You can use homemade or store-bought meatballs and gravy to save time.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes work wonderfully for this recipe and add great texture.
  • Feel free to mix mozzarella and cheddar cheese for a richer flavor.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper before spreading for best taste.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
