Meatball Casserole With Mashed Potatoes
When I think of what my ideal casserole would be, this casserole comes to mind. Lots of cheesy goodness, with juicy meatballs with marinara sauce all atop creamy mashed potatoes and finally topped with lots of cheese. I mean we all love meatballs and mashed potatoes, why not put them together and create this masterpiece? This meatball casserole can be made entirely from scratch. However, if you’ve got some frozen meatballs in your freezer and a jar of marinara sauce, who am I to tell you not to use them. Isn’t that the beauty of casseroles? Use what you got! Want to use store bought mashed potatoes? By all means, go for it! Regardless of what you use, store bought or homemade, this casserole will still taste delicious. Yes, I usually tell you homemade is best, but in this case, I won’t judge!
Ingredient Notes
Mashed Potatoes – You can choose to make your own mashed potatoes or store bought. For this recipe I used my mom’s creamy mashed potatoes. Italian Meatballs – You can use my recipe of Italian meatballs that come complete with their own marinara sauce, or simply use some frozen meatballs and a jar of marinara sauce. Mozzarella Cheese – What’s a casserole without cheese, and lots of it. I prefer to buy mozzarella balls and shred my own, this way I know there aren’t any added preservatives or chemicals. Parsley – Just a bit of fresh parsley for garnish.
