Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Meatballs: Cook frozen meatballs according to package instructions, about 15-20 minutes at 400°F (200°C). For homemade, combine meat, breadcrumbs, egg, and spices, shape into balls, and cook until browned and cooked through.
  2. Make Mashed Potatoes: Boil peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Warm Gravy: Heat brown gravy in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until hot and slightly thickened.
  4. Assemble Dish: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish. Layer meatballs, pour gravy, and spread mashed potatoes evenly on top.
  5. Bake: Sprinkle cheese over mashed potatoes and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Let rest for a few minutes before serving warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
