MEATLOAF TATER TOT CASSEROLE

I cannot remember where this recipe came from, but it couldn't be easier to throw together for dinner on a hectic weekday. I like to add some spices to mine, and next time I intend to toss in some chopped onions and green peppers (I considered jalepenos as well). Tell your kids it's a hamburger and cheese tots all-in-one.

MEATLOAF CASSEROLE



Meatloaf Casserole image

I got this recipe from my boyfriend's mom and modified it just a little. It's so simple but I love it. The meatloaf mix is my twist on it. The market next door to my house has an amazing pre-made meatloaf mix and I though it would be a great twist on a dish I already knew I loved. You can us ground beef seasoned with meatloaf seasoning mix and I'm sure that it would be just fine.

2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup crumbled bacon real
1/4 cup crispy fried onions, canned
2/3 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 9×9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine beef, onion, breadcrumbs, barbecue sauce, egg, chili powder and salt until well mixed. Gently press into bottom of baking dish. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Carefully pour off any excess fat if needed. Adjust oven to broil and place oven rack 6 to 8 inches from heat source. Meanwhile, microwave potatoes according to package instructions.

Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce if desired. TIP: If desired, substitute ground beef with ground turkey.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use a leaner ground beef (85% lean or higher) to prevent the meatloaf casserole from becoming too greasy.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your meatloaf casserole the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the baking dish: This will help it hold its shape during baking.
  • Bake the meatloaf casserole at a high temperature: This will help it brown and develop a crispy crust.
  • Let the meatloaf casserole rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the meatloaf casserole with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad are all great options.
