Meat Loaf Pie
Great way to have the favorite meal of meat loaf and mashed potatoes in one. This is great for the kids. Serve with green beans.

Yummy! I kept the recipe mostly the same. However, I did not use a pie-crust (since I didn't have it and it just adds calories). I simply put the ingredients a casserole dish. I used butter and garlic flavored instant potatoes and mozzarella cheese instead. VERY good! Will make again! Thanks!
Read MoreAbsolutely the worst thing I've ever made on this site! Just disgusting! I even added more spices to flavor the meat, because this recipe calls for nothing except browned onions with the meat. It was absolutely awful and I'm so upset that I chose to serve this to my family. Save yourself the misery and just make a decent meatloaf with potatoes and corn on the side. And if you're really craving the pie crust then make a pie for dessert and you will be much happier!

I was pleasantly surprised - this was really really good!! I used a frozen pillsbury "roll-out" crust that had been in the freezer since the holidays. I thawed it out for half a minute in the microwave, and then prebaked it for 10 minutes while I browned the groundbeef. I added about 3/4 cup frozen chopped onion to the beef while it was browning, and while that was going on I made Betty Crocker packaged mashed potatoes in the microwave, which only take 4 minutes. When the beef and onion was done I drained out the fat, and added the rest of the ingredients right in the frypan instead of dirtying another bowl. I doubled the worcestershire and ketchup amounts which worked out fine and gave it a really nice taste. Then I baked it only about 20 minutes since I had already prebaked the crust. Yum. Everyone really liked it, my husband wanted to know what I added to the beef! Next time I'll make two since there wasn't any left for anyone to take to work today! Thanks so much. This is going to be a regular at our house.
This is so yummy!!! My whole family LOVED this, including my picky one and two year olds! It is a recipe that has been added as a regular to our menu planning. I made just a couple changes. I cut the recipe in half except for the corn and Worcestershire sauce (I used all it called for), and I upped the ketchup. I used a deep dish pie crust and the half recipe filled it perfectly. One thing that I think I will change the next time I make it is that instead of putting the corn on the bottom I'll put the meat mixture on bottom with the corn between the meat and potatoes. When I cut into it to serve the corn just went everywhere. I figured the potatoes would make them "stick" in the pie a little better. Regardless of the minor changes I made, this is a very yummy and hearty meal!
Very easy to prepare. Everyone enjoyed this dish, including my mother-in-law. CHANGES: Browned the crust. Used 4 TBLS ketchup. Layer meat first, corn second, next the potatoes, then 1 cup blended coby & american cheese.
An easy and good recipe! I added minced garlic and several seasonings to the meat (Creole Seasoning, garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper) and increased the ketchup to 4 tblsp. I boiled a carrot when boiling the potatoes for homemade mashed potatoes. I sliced half the carrot and put it with the corn and mashed the other half of the carrot in with the mashed potatoes. It turned out pretty well!
I also didn't use the pie crust, which reduces the fat a lot. Delicious, comfort food.
Very good! I didn't change a thing as far as the ingredients. Per one reviewers suggestion, I put the corn on top of the meat mixture (made perfect sense) and that worked great. Next time I will pre-bake the pie crust because the bottom stayed doughy. I used instant potatoes and a frozen pie crust (I know some cooks would never use either one) so it was a very easy dinner! We will make this again and again. Thank you Alicia!
I too "upped" the spices a bit in the meat by adding pepper, garlic and a tablespoon of brown sugar, which with additional ketchup gave it a slightly sloppy joe taste. I blended the cheese into the potatoes rather than having them lay on the top, sprinkling a touch of paprika to the top to give it some color. I sauteed some mushrooms with the beef too. A pre-baked crust worked really well and I didn't want the juice of the corn sogging the crust, so I followed the advice of the other reviewers and put my corn on top of the beef - although I don't know why you couldn't just mix it in as well. It was a nice, hearty winter meal that my meat and potatoes family really enjoyed. I served it with the recipe for Sweet Dinner Rolls and it was a hit!
WOW...my "kids" 33, 25 and 21 LOVED this! I used 1-1/2 lbs. of 93% lean ground beef. Doubled the ketchup and worsteshire,and added another egg. Thank you
SOO GOOD ...My only change was cooking mushrooms in with the hamburg and onion...and hamburg was 1 1/2 pounds so I added one more egg and about tablespoon bread crumbs to hold together a little.. and baked a little longer Husband claims this recipe to be his "new most favorite"
Excellent recipe!!! Will make this on a regular basis. Didn't change much at all; the only thing I did was increase the cheese on top and left everything else the same. My entire family loved it! I'm now passing it around at work!
Really enjoyed this. Sprinkled a little Lawry seasoning salt and garlic salt on the meat while browning with onion and a little chopped green pepper. Added frozen corn to pan just before the meat was done. In the bowl I put 2 Tblsps. of ketchup, 2 Tblsps. of Worcestershire sauce and the egg, mixed up and added the ingredients in the frying pan. Mixed and put in casserole dish (did not use a pie crust to save fat and calories). Made Hungry Jack Instant mashed potatoes and spread over meat mixture. Sprinkled top with Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican blend and baked for 25 minutes. Will definitely be making this again.

A very similar recipe to this is one we fix often but with cornbread as a crust. Nice middle of the week, no time recipe! Kids love it. Works great for those nights when everyone comes in a different times
YUM! This was a great way to get all of the elements of a meatloaf and mashed potato dinner all into one great dish!
This is our "go to" dinner now! I make sure I always have the ingrediants on hand. It's really fast and easy to make. I too doubled the amount of Ketchup and worcestershire, and as I hate chopping onions, I used dehydrated onions mixed in with the meat & it worked great! I also added a few spices to the meat while it was cooking, (sometimes I use a packet of meatloaf mix) as it was a little bland the first time. Also, as others have suggested, I pre-bake my crust for about 10 minutes before putting everything together. We also sprinkle a little cheese between each layer, which seems to make it stick together a little better. Good reheated too! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!!
I was really surprisned at how good this was, and how simple. I did add mushrooms to mine, but I feel it had little effect overall. Very good recipe.
This was an excellent recipe for these colder months. I followed the recommendations of another user and doubled the ketchup and worchestershire sauce and with the egg -- I added it in with the cooked beef and onion as not to dirty another dish. I also used Pillsbury refridgerated pie crusts and pre-baked them ten minutes and then filled -- reducing the cooking time afterward to 20 minutes only. I did however cook my meal at 450 degrees instead of 350 to account for the shorter cook time and it worked out nicely. My husband really enjoyed this recipe and I think the only changes I would have made would be to add some salt and pepper to taste into the meat mixture. We will definately make this again.
Just made this for dinner tonight! Followed the recipe exactly but decided to sprinkle it with seasoning salt before I ate it and it was DELICIOUS! Probably my favourite dish that I've made on allrecipies.com so far!
This is an old family favorite. EXCEPT I don't use the crust and I use taco seasoning when browning the meat. I have also used French-cut drained green beans and it's still just as good.
Very good recipe - I used 3 Tbs ketchup, but it still could've used a little more. It was a little bit bland, but I really liked it - I think that adding more seasonings will make it great. We'll be trying this again!
Loved this recipe! Made a few changes. I did not use the pie crust - recipe doesn't really need it! I did not have any canned corn so I heated up some frozen mixed veggies and added them to the cooked beef/onion mix which I liberally seasoned with seasoned salt. Added about 1/4 cup of ketchup and about 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce. Used homemade mashed potatoes with sour cream added. Next time will add 2 eggs to the meat and maybe one to the potatoes. Was really tasty! Thanks for the recipe!
This was great Alicia! I actually had leftover hamburgers which I threw in the food processor with the onion, my own seasonings, the catsup and worcestershire sauce. I took Janices's advice and put the corn between the potatoes and the meat and used lots of good Vermont cheddar. Thanks so much!
I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. I used frozen pie crust and instant mashed potatoes, and I upped the amount of ketchup. It was super easy to make, but it's kind of bland. I think that I will try this recipe again, but will add salt and a little bit of brown sugar for flavor.
Very good, super easy! Only change I made was a little more ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Used mixed veggies instead of just corn. It's a keeper!!
Very Good! I substituted the pie crust with cornbread recipe on the bottom and it turned out great! My husband loved it and so did I.
Great recipe, I followed the directions the first time and it was pretty good, but we knew it had more potential, so the next day I did it again, made a few changes and added some latin flavor and it was the perfect dish! I prepared the meat with spagetti sause and some sazon & oregano, I made the mashed potatoes homestyle and put more cheese between the meat and the mashed. HMMMM!!!!! thanks!!!
I liked this recipe. It was different. My husband and kids are so picky that supper can seem overwhelming, trying to find something the whole family will enjoy. There is nothing in this recipe that isn't liked by anyone in my family.
Tried this recipe for dinner last night. My husband and I both loved it. He went back for thirds! TFS Alicia. I will make this again.
I made this last night for dinner, only we didn't have a pie crust on hand so I made it more of a casserole. Followed everything else and my family loved it, and I have a 7, 5, and 2 year old. It is amazing to find something all three will eat.
this recipe is excellent ; easy to make and delicious. I replaced beef with chicken. I put peas after the chicken mixture ( I added 1/2 tbsp hot chili powder) and I also added shredded cheddar cheese on top of peas, then covered them with mashed potatoes and on top of it, is cheddar cheese.
This was pretty bland even though I doubled the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and added salt and pepper.
It was a bit dry for me so I added a little tomatoe sauce and it was perfect
I have been making this for years with frozen corn and ground moose or caribou, whatever I have on hand (we never have beef). It is a family favorite! A friend with a larger family doubles the recipe and lines a 13"x9" pan with pie crusts and layers it that way. She says it works great. I just make two pies.
I used flavored mashed potatoes, it was great. I also used combonation flavored grated cheese. Next time I will try adding some rotel tomatoes. This recipe is a great one and so easy.
I found that 2 cups of mashed potatoes were not enough to cover the pie, also it needed more flavor. I added some garlic but would have added more of the catsup and worstershire. I'll try it again.
This was very good and simple to make too! I will make it again but add more ketchup!
This was outstanding! I read the other reviews and like others I did not use a pie crust (that sounds disgusting to me) and placed the burger on the bottom of the pie plate with a layer of cheese, a layer of corn, mashed potatoes and another layer of cheese. To give it flavor when I browned the ground beef I put Montreal Steak Seasoning in the burger with some sea salt and garlic. I used bold A-1 steak sauce as well. This was a HIT!!! YUM
Very good! I added a pkg of meatloaf spices to give the meat more flavor. Great recipe for meatloaf & potato lovers.
This was Quick, easy, inexpensive, and GOOD. I always use ground turkey instead of beef, and i accidentally used the itallian kind... Still turned out great. This recipe is pretty much fool proof.
I really enjoyed this dish, and so did my family! Although it tasted more like shepherd`s pie, it was good and filling. Everyone had seconds. I would add some pepper or other seasoning to the mix, though. Also I used 3tbsp of ketchup.
Loved this recipe! it was easy to put together...most of the ingredients were at hand. I doubled the ketchup and W sauce as suggested here but i didn't pre-bake my crust and it turned out purrrfect :) definitely a keeper.
This was quite good. I needed to throw something together quick for lunch today, and found this on the ingredient search. For the crust I used a pat-in-the-pan pie crust recipe I found on the internet, because I was too lazy to roll a crust out. (www.exit109.com/~mstevens/lrccookb/PATINPAN.htm) I boiled 3 medium sized potatoes and mashed them up with a little milk and sour cream for the potatoes. When cooking the ground beef, I added about a clove of minced garlic, and when mixing the meat with the binding mixture, upped the ketchup to 1/4 c. as others recommended. Overall, very good, simple, and something that I always have the ingredients around for. We will make it again. Thanks for the recipe!
SO GOOD, AND EASY EASY EASY, just added few things i liked, like sauted garlic w/ onion meat mix, then corn and shredded cheese i had in fridge to everything else then combined with meat and put in pie pan w/ rollout crust (pre baked for 6/7 min)! My boyfriend LOVED this I will deff make often and tweek to change it up as i go! So so good!
was really good kids loved it. Sort of like shepards pie, very good .Yum-yum-yum
a lot of work for a so-so dish. definitely not spectacular enough to make it again.
I never was one for meat loaf and my 3 boys and husband wanted meat loaf. I found your recipe & a different kind of meat loaf, it was delcious and I will make this again and again. Thanks
This was wonderful!!! My husband and I really enjoyed it. We put a little more Worcestershire sauce and a bit more ketchup in it. Also, I put a tad more potatoes and used the extra buttery kind. This is definitely a remake!
This was SO good! I left out the crust as others have, and added some tomato sauce to the meat instead of ketchup. I also put the meat/onions in first, then corn, then potatoes, then cheese. Great way to use up our leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and corn!
I tried this last night. It was very tasty and very quick and easy, which is important to me after work. I quadrupled the ketchup and doubled the worcestershire (I think I'll quad that too next time). I added minced garlic to the mashed potatoes, and used onion flakes instead of real onions-made no difference in taste. I also pre-baked the crust for 10 minutes-made a big difference! Layered meat, then corn, then potatoes and monterey jack cheese. I also did not drain the corn because the recipe didn't call for it. I'll make sure to do so next time. My brother liked it so well, he had 3/4 of a pie by himself. I only gave 4 out of 5 stars because it's a great base recipe that needs a little adaptation.
I made this because it has ingredients that are usually in my house. I this came out much better than expected. The corn makes it. only change I made was added garlic powder because I like garlic.
This was really good! I doubled the ketchup and worchestire sauce as another reviewer suggested. This recipe made enough meat for two pies so I froze half of the meat for another meal. Really good as leftovers also!
Wow, not too bad. I wanted to make a hearty meal, so I tried this one. I added a little more ketchup and also added some chili sauce. I put a bit of garlic in the mix as well. The flavor was good, but still needed a bit more. Next time, I will try using taco seasoning per suggestion. I think it will make an excellent taco meat pie. Thanks for a great idea for a hearty dinner.
Nothing too special about this dish. I rather back regular meatloaf with mashed potatoes on the side. There wasn't too much flavor (I know I could have added) and the pie crust on the bottom was too mushy.
Didn't have worch sauce so used steak sauce, added more cheese and ketchup. It was good, my son and husband liked it more than me though.
I was excited about this recipe, but a little let down. It seemed a little bland, I would have liked more seasoning in the meat, to give it more of a meatloaf taste. Also didn't enjoy the taste of the pie crust mixed in. Overall it was super easy to make, and I already had everything needed to make it!
The recipe wasnt specific. So i used a frozen pie crust. I did have it out thawing for about an hour. But all in all i cooked the pie nearly double time and the pie crust was still mush. I followed directions to a tee and found it to not have much flavor.
Needed something for a leftover pie crust from Christmas, and this was just the thing. I pre-baked the crust, and used 4 tbsp of ketchup. I didn't have any Worcestershire sauce, so I used some Country Bob's Steak Sauce. It was just a tad bland, so I'll add a little bit of mustard to the meat mixture next time to give it a little more flavor. Other than that, it was a winner with my family.
I did not make this in a pie shell and just layered the beef mix, corn and potatoes in a 9X9 casserole dish instead of in a pie shell. I eyeballed the seasonings, but I think I must have doubled the amount of ketchup and worcestershire. To increase our vegetable intake, I added diced carrot and red pepper in with the beef mix. I served with green salad on the side and ketchup on top of the potatoes. It is a bit of work but it's a great recipe if you have a load of mashed potatoes you have to use up. I've made this about 5 times, so I will be sure to make again.
Good, quick (prep-wise) and easy. I cooked the meat a day before and put extra worchester and ketchup, used hash browns instead of mashed potatoes and seasoned them with salt, pepper, parmesean and feta cheese (it's what I had on hand). I also used frozen corn instead of canned. Per other suggestions I layered the meat first, then the corn, then the potatoes.
I have made this a few times. We enjoy it, and it I like it because it is easy. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe. The second time I made it, I forgot the egg, and couldn't tell the difference. So now I leave it out. I do add a little more ketchup & worcestershire than called for. I also use frozen corn, and the last couple of times I have added a drained can of green beans.
It was good, but needed some more flavor. Next time I will use garlic mashed potatoes and more ketchup, maybe some chili sauce. A good base to start from.
Whole family liked! I baked the pie crust first as others had suggested (jiffy crust mix) and doubled the ketchup and worcestershire sauce, also as recommended, and drained the corn (didn't see where in the recipe it said to do that but I knew it needed done) and it came out pretty good. We had ketcup on the side to dip our bites into and my picky toddler gobbled it up so I'll keep this recipe as a definite stand by for a night when I need to have something I can whip together quickly. Thanks!
It was ok. I used the cheesy quiche crust recipe on here (which is fabulous) I added an extra egg, doubled the worcestershire and ketchup, and added 2 Tbs bread crumbs. Only had a little bit of corn, so I added peas in too. Might make again.
this was great, my husband absolutly loved this. I think that I will pre heat the pie crust a litle more next time. Like on 400 for 8 minutes would be better. But other than the fact of putting th meat on bottom then the corn, then the potatoes, then the cheese that is how did it. But alos I did add garlic, italian seasons, and dried onions to the meat mixture.
Yum, I really liked this one but I ate it with ketchup, tasted much better that way. Used frozen corn instead of canned and probably a little more cheese. Served with Buttery Cooked Carrots (recipe from this site.)
My family LOVED this. Very good. If you are a meat and potatoes family, this is perfect for you and so simple!
I forgot to add the ketchup, worcestershire sauce and egg to the meat! A blonde moment, I guess...But it turned out really good without. Next time I will remember. I fried onions and garlic w/hamburger. I also made homemade mashed potatoes and added several garlic cloves to the water when boiling. Next time I will make it as written...I also used puff pastry as the crust, and baked the crust for 15 minutes before filling with fillings...
I was looking for a recipe to use up some mashed potatoes from yesterday and this is what I decided to try. It was actually pretty good. I wouldn't skip the crust though--that was the best part (I used a ready made deep dish pie crust and pre-baked it 10 min). I also used a cup of frozen corn in place of canned, and doubled the ketchup & worchestire. Oh, and I added an egg, sour cream, and shredded cheese to the potatoes. Then topped it off with more cheese. It seriously took just minutes to prepare and the family ate it right up.
This is super easy and a favorite at our home. Makes lots so perfect when you want/need leftovers. I use micro steam corn and peas for filling - and mirco steam potatoes - so it couldn't be easier and is YUMMY!
I thought this was pretty good. I did use more hamburg than called for. I would make this again.
This is simple and oh so yummy, I picky little one loves this as well......gotta try this, you won't regreat it!!!!
My family didn't like the seasoning in the beef, so I left out the egg, ketchup, and worcheshire the second time I made it. They liked it much better.
Extremely easy! Really wouldn't change anything. My two twentysomething sons and my husband loved it.
This was an awesome fast easy meal for my family. I used all left overs for the potatoes ( cheezy potates that my hubby made) and left over vegi's. Becuase we have a larger family and like left overs I used 2.5 lbs of hamberger, and 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of ketchup and A1 steak sauce. IT did take longer to bake as it was in a 9x13 pan, and no pie crust. Thanks for an easy tasty meal!!
I made this gluten free so I didn't use a pie crust. It was good but a little bland. Next time I will add some more spices.
I didn't eat it but my husband loved it. Didn't use a crust, just baked in a casserole dish. Also didn't have corn so I used peas, and made garlic mashed potatoes to use, which added a lot of flavor. I added oregano, parsely, and s&p in the beef mixture.
Yummy! I too didn't use the pie crust(used a meatloaf pan) and added about 1/4+ cup of ketchup to the meat mixture & used boxed garlic mashed poatoes. Not a drop left after dinner!
not so kid friendly
This is a really good base recipe that you can tweak according to your family's taste. I was looking for a recipe to use one frozen pie crust and this was perfect. I parbaked the crust for 10 mins but that wan't long enough. The crust still tasted a little doughy. I also cooked up a few more veggies and added spices to the meat mixture. I loved the corn layer. I also broiled it after cook time was done to get a little more of a crisp cheese crust on top. I would make this again.
The family really liked this one. I made it with ground turkey instead of beef. Added 4 tablespoons ketchup and a few healthy dashes of worcestershire. Next time I'll add the condiments sooner in an effort to get the ground turkey more tender.
This was a hit with everyone, thanks for sharing. Even the ever picky Grandpa.
This was pretty good! Made pretty much like the recipe. Made my own mashed potatoes, put the corn on the bottom but will put ground beef on the bottom next time. Added some salt and onion flakes to the meat (along with the small onion) and doubled the Worcestershire abd Ketchup. To me, this is more like a Shepherd's pie than a meatloaf.....
Great Staple. Made this 3 times already. I like to mix it up. Second time I added green pepper and used pasta sauce instead of ketchup. Yummo! Third time I added 1 pkg of oniion soup mix and an extra half cup of V8 juice! Even better!!! Thanks!!
I've made this twice now and I'm really surprised my family likes it. It's kind of the KFC dinner bowl idea - everything together. I use a can of golden shroom soup in the meat mixture for more moisture/gravy with peas, corn and mashed potatoes on top. I use the premade mashies sold in stores now. This is really easy and good.
I love the concept of this recipe, but it needs some tweeking. I did not make mine in a pie crust, but used a pie plate and just greased it. The meatloaf section of the pie was pretty much just browned burger. Next time I will make meatloaf like i normally do, with saltines, etc. and layer it b/w the corn and potatoes/cheese.
I gave this recipe a 3 because I found it to be dry. I will try again but I'm thinking of adding a can of oregano/basil tomatoe soup to the meat mixture and mixing the corn into the meat mixture. It's a great idea it just needs a little tweaking.
