Note
-
Use a combination of ground beef and pork for the meatballs to add more flavor and texture.
-
For a healthier option, try using cauliflower mash instead of potatoes. Simply steam or boil cauliflower florets until soft, then mash them with some butter, milk, and seasonings.
-
Feel free to add some extra veggies to the casserole for more color and nutrition. Chopped carrots, peas, or green beans are great options.
-
To make the dish even more flavorful, top the casserole with grated Parmesan cheese or breadcrumbs before baking.
-
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
