# Ingredients:
→ Meat mixture
01 -
1 pound of ground beef
02 -
1/2 pound of ground pork
03 -
1 small onion, minced
04 -
1 cup of breadcrumbs
05 -
Half a cup of milk
06 -
1 large egg
→ Seasonings
07 -
A teaspoon of garlic powder
08 -
A tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
09 -
Two teaspoons of salt
10 -
A teaspoon of black pepper
→ Topping
11 -
2 cups of mashed potatoes
12 -
1 cup of shredded cheddar
13 -
1/2 cup of crisp, crumbled bacon
14 -
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven ready by setting it to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch dish.
02 -
Using a big bowl, lightly blend the ground beef, ground pork, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Be gentle—don't overdo the mixing.
03 -
Spread the meat mixture across the prepared pan so it's nice and even.
04 -
Smooth out the mashed potatoes on top of the meat layer. Add the shredded cheddar, sprinkle the bacon, and toss on the green onions.
05 -
Pop it into the oven for 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's done when the cheese is golden, gooey, and the meat's cooked through. Before serving, let it sit for about 10 minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
Let it cool for 10 minutes after baking—it slices easier that way.
02 -
Switch it up with different veggies, meats, or cheeses if you'd like.

The better the ingredients, the tastier the dish!
