A comforting and hearty Meatball & Mashed Potato Bake featuring tender meatballs smothered in savory brown gravy, topped with creamy mashed potatoes and a golden, cheesy crust. Perfect as a family-friendly dinner or an easy make-ahead meal.

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 & Seasonings

  • 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 ease cleanup.
  2. Arrange Meatballs: Place the cooked meatballs evenly in the prepared baking dish, spreading them out to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Gravy: Pour the brown gravy evenly over the meatballs, coating them thoroughly to keep them moist during baking.
  4. Top with Mashed Potatoes: Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the meatballs and gravy, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese evenly on top of the mashed potatoes to create a delicious melty, golden crust.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly, golden brown, and the casserole is heated through.

Notes

  • Use leftover mashed potatoes for a quick version or make fresh mashed potatoes for best flavor.
  • Homemade gravy adds a richer flavor but store-bought works fine for convenience.
  • Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or your favorite melting cheese.
  • Ensure meatballs are fully cooked before assembling.
  • This recipe can be prepared in advance and refrigerated before baking.
