INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:
Leftover Garlic Mashed Potatoes – These should be cold and firm for easier spreading. If not garlic mashed, you can mix in minced garlic for flavor.
Lean Ground Beef – Opt for lean to avoid too much grease collecting in the dish.
White Onion, Finely Chopped – Adds sweetness and moisture.
Fresh Garlic, Minced – Enhances the beef’s flavor with a savory kick.
Brown Sugar – Balances the savory with a hint of sweetness.
Worcestershire Sauce – Adds depth and umami richness.
Italian Breadcrumbs – Help bind the mixture while adding herb seasoning.
Large Egg – Acts as a binder for the beef mixture.
Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated – Melts beautifully for a bold, cheesy topping.
Cooked and Crumbled Bacon or Bacon Bits – Adds crunch and smoky flavor to the top.
Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper – Essential for seasoning the meat mixture.
