Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb Frozen or homemade meatballs, cooked

Mashed Potato Layer

  • 4 cups Mashed potatoes, fresh or leftover

Sauce

  • 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 to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Arrange Meatballs: Place the cooked meatballs evenly in the prepared baking dish to create an even base for the dish.
  3. Add Gravy: Pour the brown gravy evenly over the meatballs to add moisture and flavor, ensuring every bite is deliciously saucy.
  4. Spread Mashed Potatoes: Carefully spread the mashed potatoes over the meatballs and gravy, smoothing out the surface for an even layer.
  5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly crispy.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly cooked meatballs, but frozen ones work well too if fully thawed and cooked.
  • You can substitute brown gravy with mushroom or beef gravy for a different flavor.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes work well, making this dish a great way to reduce food waste.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like peas or corn to the meatball layer for added nutrition.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; just add an extra 5-10 minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
