Number Of Ingredients 17

3 lbs. baking potatoes, scrubbed and sliced crosswise 1/8 inch thick
4 tbsp. butter
1 large onion, quartered, then one-quarter finely chopped
2 tbsp. flour
2 1/2 cups half-and-half, warmed
6 oz. swiss cheese, shredded
Salt and Pepper

2 eggs
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 lb. ground turkey
1 lb. ground beef chuck
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup EVOO
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375. In a large pot filled halfway with boiling, lightly salted water, cook the potatoes for 3 minutes. Drain and spread evenly on a paper-towl-lined baking sheet to cool. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour for 2 minutes, then pour in the half-and-half and bring to a boil, whisking constantly; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese, 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Let cool. Using a food processor, chop the remaining onion and the carrots. Transfer to a bowl. Add the beet to the processor and chop. Transfer to a kitchen towel, wrap and squeeze out any excess moisture. Whisk the eggs, marinara, breadcrumbs, 1 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper into the carrot mixture. Crumble in the turkey, beef and beets and mix well. Transfer to a 9x13 inch casserole dish, pressing in an even layer. top with the potatoes and cheese sauce. Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet and bake until the edges are bubbly and the top is browned, about 40 minutes. Cover with foil and continue cooking about 20 to 25 minutes until a meat thermometer placed in the center of the loaf registers 175. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving. Puree the basil, EVOO, lemon juice and 1/2 tsp salt. Serve on top of the meatloaf.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. The meatloaf is also very flavorful and moist.

This was the worst meatloaf I've ever had. It was dry and tasteless, and the potatoes were mushy.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the meatloaf and potatoes, and it turned out much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatloaf turned out dry and the potatoes were undercooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
