Cowboy Meatloaf and Potato Casserole
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup BBQ sauce
1 large egg
2 tsp chili powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup cooked bacon pieces (optional)
1 (16 oz) package mashed potatoes (instant or premade)
½ cup shredded cheese
1 tbsp butter (optional)
¼ cup milk (optional, for mashed potatoes)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x9 baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, BBQ sauce, egg, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Press meatloaf mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
Mashed Potatoes (if using instant): While meatloaf bakes, prepare instant mashed potatoes according to package directions. For creamier texture, add butter and milk.
Mashed Potatoes (if using premade): Heat premade mashed potatoes according to package directions.
Spread mashed potatoes evenly over cooked meatloaf.
Top with cheese and bacon (if using).
Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
