Cheesy hash browns piled high in a moist meatloaf crust? Yes, please!! This one-pan meatloaf casserole is a quick meal and my family never seems to tire of this meatloaf recipe. Made from basic on-hand ingredients, this Cheesy Hash Brown Meatloaf Pie (think of it as meatloaf with a glaze AND a filling) comes together in a flash.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with the BBQ sauce, onions, oregano, and panko bread crumbs with 1 beaten egg, taking care not to overwork the meatloaf mixture; press this into a greased 9″ deep-dish pie plate, evenly across the bottom and up the sides, using your fingers; reserve.
In another mixing bowl, combine the remaining 3 beaten eggs with the hash browns, shredded cheese, and parsley; gently spoon this mixture into the prepared meatloaf “crust” in the pie plate, spreading it out evenly.
Place the meatloaf pie, uncovered, on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the hash brown mixture is set and the meatloaf is done. Remove the meatloaf pie from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges to serve. Garnish each piece with a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce, as desired.
