Loaded Mashed Potato Meatloaf Casserole

FAQs

1. Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the entire casserole a day ahead, cover it, and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the bake time if it’s cold from the fridge.

2. How do I know when the meatloaf is fully cooked?
The meatloaf should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

3. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! Simply substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs in the meatloaf base. Everything else is naturally gluten-free.
