A comforting and hearty Meatball & Mashed Potato Bake featuring tender meatballs layered with savory brown gravy and creamy mashed potatoes, topped with melted cheese for a deliciously satisfying meal perfect for family dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb Frozen or homemade meatballs, cooked

Mashed Potatoes

  • 4 cups Mashed potatoes, fresh or leftover

Gravy

  • 1 cup Brown gravy, homemade or store-bought

Toppings

  • 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 with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Meatballs: Place the cooked meatballs evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a base layer.
  3. Add Gravy: Pour the brown gravy evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated to keep the dish moist and flavorful.
  4. Top with Mashed Potatoes: Spread the mashed potatoes over the meatballs and gravy, smoothing the surface with a spatula or spoon to create an even layer.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes for a golden, bubbly topping.
  6. Bake: Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy your comforting meal!

Notes

  • You can use leftover mashed potatoes for convenience to save time.
  • Feel free to substitute meatballs with plant-based versions for a vegetarian option (adjust diet accordingly).
  • Homemade brown gravy enhances flavor but store-bought gravy is a great shortcut.
  • Consider adding herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
