Ingredients

    • For the Meatballs:
    • 1 lb ground beef (or beef/pork mix)
    • ½ cup breadcrumbs
    • 1 egg
    • 2 tbsp milk
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

    • For the Mashed Potatoes:
    • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 4 tbsp butter
    • ½ cup milk or cream
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

    • For the Sauce:
    • 1 ½ cups beef broth
    • 1 tbsp flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

  • Optional Toppings:
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic, Parmesan, oregano, salt, and pepper. Form into 1–1.5 inch meatballs.
  3. Brown meatballs in a skillet with a little oil, turning to sear all sides. Remove from skillet.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter, whisk in flour, then slowly add beef broth while whisking. Stir in Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  5. Assemble in a greased casserole dish: spread mashed potatoes on the bottom, nestle in meatballs, and pour sauce over. Top with cheese if desired.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until hot and golden on top.
  7. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
  • Mix peas, corn, or spinach into the potato layer for extra veggies.
  • Top with cheddar or Parmesan for a cheesy crust.
  • Add caramelized onions or mushrooms to the sauce for depth.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 2 months.
