Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve the shallot; grate one half on a box grater into a large bowl. Mince the remaining half. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise.
2. Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot and cover with salted water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 12-15 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup cooking liquid, then drain. Return potatoes to pot and cover.
3. To the bowl with grated shallot, add ground pork, garlic powder, panko, half the ketchup, ¾ teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix well and shape into two 1-inch-tall loaves. Place on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine cranberry jam, half the chipotle powder, remaining ketchup and a pinch of salt.
4. Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper on the opposite side of the sheet. Roast on top rack for 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add minced shallot and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir. Whisk in stock concentrate, mustard and ½ cup water. Simmer until thickened, 1-3 minutes. Add water if too thick.
6. Remove sheet from oven. Brush meatloaves with glaze. Return to oven and roast until meatloaves are cooked through and Brussels sprouts are golden, 5-6 minutes more. Mash sweet potatoes with sour cream, 1 tablespoon butter and a pinch of chipotle powder, adding reserved cooking liquid as needed.
7. Slice meatloaves. Divide meatloaves, mashed sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts among plates. Spoon gravy over meatloaves.
