This casserole is a complete meal in and of itself, including protein, carbs, and fat.
However, I recommend doubling the recipe. It’s as filling as it is addictive, so you’ll want more than a piece.
While the list of ingredients is lengthy, don’t be put off.
If you look closely, you’ll notice that they’re all regular requirements that I’m sure you already have in your pantry!
It’s also a lot easier than you think, due to goods like pre-cooked mashed potatoes and boxed French-fried onions and bacon.
Meatloaf with a Cowboy Twist
believe again if you believe meatloaf can’t get much better!
This cowboy meatloaf has become legendary. It’s not just for cowboys and cowgirls, but for everyone who’s a little peckish.
I mean it when I say this meatloaf is totally loaded. It’s a hearty casserole, not simply a meatloaf.
On the bottom comes delicious and meaty meatloaf, and on top is creamy mashed potatoes.
Consider it a hybrid of American meatloaf and English shepherd’s pie.
This is the crossover you didn’t realize you needed.
The meatloaf layer is flavored with sweet honey barbecue sauce and chili powder, creating a delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors with a kick.
The topping isn’t your average mashed potatoes, either. It’s creamy and crunchy at the same time, thanks to bacon pieces and French-fried onions.
