Ingredients
- subheading: To make this recipe, you’ll need the ingredients for the meatballs, potatoes, and sauce. Each item is simple, and uses mainly pantry staples and fridge basics. Here’s the complete list:
- subheading: For the Meatballs:
- Ground Beef and Ground Pork: A combination of lean ground beef and ground pork makes a savory, flavorful meatball.
- Bread Crumbs: Use fine, fresh breadcrumbs. This recipe is not ideal for using Panko.
- Onion: Dice up the onion, or finely chop it for a more subtle flavor.
- Eggs: Large, whole eggs bind he mixture together.
- Salt and Pepper
- Garlic: Mince the garlic, or put it through a garlic press.
- Parsley: You can use fresh minced parsley, or parsley flakes.
- Parmesan Cheese: Fresh or from a jar is fine.
- subheading: For the Loaded Mashed Potatoes:
- Mashed Potatoes: I use store-bought, or you can make your own. I highly recommend my Garlic Mashed Potatoes for this recipe if you have the time to make them from scratch!
- Parsley: Again, you can do fresh or dried - whichever is best for you.
- Bacon: Cooked, chopped bacon gives these potatoes a ton of flavor.
- Garlic: Mince or press the garlic, or just use garlic powder.
- Eggs: Eggs are optional, but they do add extra richness.
- Cheddar: A bit of shredded cheddar gives these that classic “loaded” taste.
- Salt and Pepper
- subheading: For the Sauce:
- Olive Oil: For sauteing.
- Onion: Diced or finely chopped.
- Garlic: Minced.
- Tomato Sauce: Plain tomato sauce in a can or a box is the base for this flavorful sauce. You can also use strained tomatoes.
- Basil: I love fresh basil in this sauce, but dried also works.
- Salt, Pepper, and Sugar: To balance out the sauce.
- Thyme and Oregano: You could also use Italian Seasoning blend.
- subheading: For the Topping:
- Mozzarella: Mozzarella slices are better than shreds, because they will stay put on top of the meatballs. However, you can use shredded mozzarella if you prefer.
