Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf:

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Casserole:

2 cups cooked mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Meatloaf:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, chopped onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and smoked paprika. Mix until fully incorporated.

        - Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.

          Bake the Meatloaf:

            - Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

              Prepare the Casserole Layer:

                - While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the mashed potatoes if making from scratch. Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven and spread the cooked mashed potatoes evenly over the meatloaf.

                  - Pour the diced tomatoes over the mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

                    Cheesy Topping:

                      - Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the entire casserole.

                        - Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                          Serve:

                            - Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy your Ultimate Cheesy Loaded Meatloaf Casserole!
