Yield: 2

Very Simple Meatloaf with a delicious mushroom sauce.

  • 12oz potatoes
  • 2scallions
  • 8oz broccoli florets or green beans
  • 12oz ground beef
  • ¼cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1tsp garlic powder, divided
  • 4oz button mushrooms
  • 2tsp Better Than Bouillon beef
  • 3TBS sour cream
  • 1TBS cooking oil
  • 2TBS butter
  • salt & pepper

Prep & cook potatoes:
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F.
Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens, mince whites.
Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces or trim green beans.

Cork potatoes:
Place potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot.

Form meatloaves:
While potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine beef, panko, scallion whites, ½ tsp garlic powder, and 1 TBS water, season generously with salt and pepper.
Form mixture into two 1-inch-tall loaves.

Roast loaves & vegetable:
Place meatloaves on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. Toss broccoli or green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil, season generously with salt and pepper.
Roast on top rack until meatloaves are cooked through and broccoli (or green beans) are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

Make sauce:
While everything roasts, trim and thinly slice mushrooms. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-4 minutes.
Stir in stock concentrate and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Turn off heat. Stir in 1½ TBS sour cream and 1 TBS butter until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Mash potatoes:
Heat pot with drained potatoes over low heat, add 1 TBS butter, 1½ TBS sour cream, and ½ tsp garlic powder.
Mash until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.


Serve:
If necessary, reheat pan with sauce over low heat, to warm through.
Place a meatloaf on each plate. Divide mashed potatoes, and broccoli or green beans between plates. Spoon sauce over meatloaves. Top with scallion greens and serve.
