Notes

  1. Make sure you are using a leaner ground beef so it does not shrink as much and doesn't have a ton of grease
  2. You can use ground chicken or turkey in place of the ground beef.
  3. Switch up your cheese, see above for some ideas.
  4. Make your own homemade mashed potatoes.
  5. You can cut this in half for a smaller family, etc. See above on how we do that.
  6. You can freeze this recipe.
  7. Make your favorite meatloaf recipe and use instead, just make sure that it makes enough for this recipe.
