Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb frozen or homemade meatballs fully cooked
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes freshly made or leftovers
  • 1½ cups brown gravy homemade or store-bought
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley or green onions optional for garnish

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly.
  2. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly across the bottom of the dish and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  3. Arrange the cooked meatballs evenly over the layer of mashed potatoes.
  4. Pour the brown gravy evenly on top, ensuring everything is nicely coated.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the gravy-covered meatballs and potatoes.
  6. Bake uncovered for about 20 to 25 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
  7. Once baked, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if you like, then serve warm for a cozy and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can switch up the meatballs by trying Italian-style, Swedish, or spicy varieties. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan or Gruyère for a new twist. For additional nutrition and flavor, add roasted veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, or sautéed mushrooms to the bake.
