- Step 3: Layer the Casserole:
- Spread half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the greased baking dish.

- Arrange the remaining sliced potatoes over the meatloaf, covering it completely.
- Step 4: Bake and Cheese Up:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy: Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
