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.

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.

3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup bread crumbs seasoned
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 egg lightly beaten
2 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
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.

Stir in bacon and fried onions. Spread evenly on top of beef mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is lightly browned. Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce if desired. TIP: If desired, substitute ground beef with ground turkey.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a flavorful meatloaf casserole, use a combination of ground beef chuck and ground beef round. The chuck will add flavor, while the round will help to keep the casserole moist.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your meatloaf casserole will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the meatloaf casserole in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly.
  • Let the meatloaf casserole rest before slicing: This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.
