Description
A comforting supper featuring a richly seasoned meatloaf glazed to perfection, paired with silky mashed potatoes, crisp green beans, and sweet corn.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 lb (225 g) ground pork
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
- 2–3 tbsp additional ketchup for topping
- 2 lb (900 g) Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3–1/2 cup warm heavy cream or milk
- 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a small skillet, sauté the diced onion in 1 tsp of oil over medium heat for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic for the last 30 seconds, then cool.
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork, cooled aromatics, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Fold gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into a loaf and place on the prepared sheet. Brush half of the glaze mixture (ketchup, Dijon, Worcestershire, and brown sugar) over the top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (71°C) in the center. Baste with remaining glaze halfway through.
- While the loaf bakes, simmer potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain, return to pot, and mash with butter and warm cream until smooth and creamy.
- Blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 3–4 minutes, then shock in ice water. Toss with butter and lemon zest before serving.
- Sauté corn in butter over medium heat until warmed, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with sides.
Notes
Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve a silkier mash and a more tender loaf. Don’t overmix the meatloaf to keep it tender.
