Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb frozen or homemade meatballs, cooked

Mash & Sauce

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes, fresh or leftover
  • 1 cup brown gravy, homemade or store-bought

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 thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Meatballs: Place the cooked meatballs evenly in a single layer in the prepared baking dish to ensure even cooking and coverage.
  3. Add Gravy: Pour the brown gravy evenly over the meatballs to infuse flavor and keep the bake moist.
  4. Spread Mashed Potatoes: Evenly spread the mashed potatoes on top of the meatballs and gravy, gently smoothing the surface with a spatula for consistent thickness.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes, adding salt and pepper to taste if desired.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and the bake is heated through.

Notes

  • You can use homemade or store-bought meatballs and gravy to save time.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes work great in this recipe, adding convenience and reducing waste.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese type depending on your preference or what you have on hand.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some herbs like parsley or thyme on top before baking.
  • This dish reheats well and makes for delicious leftovers.
