Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
- Remove the partially baked meatloaf from the oven. Spread the mac and cheese evenly over the meatloaf layer.
- Sprinkle additional cheese and breadcrumbs on top, if desired, for extra flavor and crunch.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C) and the top is golden and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Add a drizzle of ketchup or BBQ sauce on top for an extra kick of flavor.
