How to Make Chili Meatloaf Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup chili seasoning, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and 1/4 cup chopped onion. Mix lightly but thoroughly.
  3. Gently press the meatloaf mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is no longer pink.
  5. Carefully pour off any excess grease from the pan.
  6. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the potato topping. In a medium bowl, combine 2 large peeled and thinly sliced russet potatoes, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Spread the potato mixture evenly over the cooked meatloaf, extending to the edges of the pan.
  8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
  9. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting into 6 rectangular servings.
