This is a versatile recipe designed to use up leftover meatloaf in a tasty one-dish meal. Frozen tater tots, onions and vegetables are coated in a sour cream/condensed soup sauce with meatloaf pieces pressed into the surface. A cheese topping keeps the meatloaf moist during cooking and adds crispness, but ketchup or french-fried onions could also be used.

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.

Tips:

Use high-quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your meatloaf. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help it to hold its shape and cook evenly.
Baste the meatloaf with ketchup or barbecue sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it easier to slice.
Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Meatloaf tater tot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck.
