INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbecue Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 teaspoons chili powder
- 3 cups potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican Blend cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, coat a 13 X 9 baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine: ground beef, Italian sausage, diced onions, Panko bread crumbs, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, eggs and chili powder until well mixed.
- Gently press meat mixture to the bottom of the baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix the hot, boiled and mashed potatoes with butter, milk, garlic powder, bacon bits and 1/2 cup of Mexican blend cheese.
- When meatloaf is finished cooking, drain any excess grease from baking dish.
- Spread the mashed potatoes mixture over the meatloaf evenly. Add the remaining 1 cup of Mexican blend cheese over the potatoes.
- Place baking dish back in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. I like my cheese just melted, but if you want your cheese browned, you can turn up the oven to broil and place the casserole under burners for 2-3 minutes instead.
- Remove the casserole from oven and let sit 3-5 minutes before serving.
