BAKED MEATLOAF SHEPHERD'S PIE



Baked Meatloaf Shepherd's Pie image

After doing a search, I couldn't find a decent Shepherd's Pie recipe... I did find recipes for meatloaf and mashed potato bake, however. And thus, Baked Meatloaf Shepherd Pie was birthed. This recipe is an adaptation of two highly rated recipes, Meatloaf #54257 and Mashed Potato Bake #41344. It is comfort food and a great dish to bring to someone who needs a meal, as it doubles easily, and freezes well. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. Use a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef for the best flavor and texture. Ground chuck or ground sirloin are both good options.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. Make sure the meatloaf is evenly shaped so that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape.
