Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F with racks in top and middle positions. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel and mince half the onion (use whole onion for 4 servings). Peel and mince garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if needed.
- On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, panko, half the minced onion, half the parsley, salt (about ¾ tsp) and pepper. Gently mix, then shape into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4 servings). Place on one side of a second baking sheet. Brush tops with half the ketchup (use all for 4 servings).
- Toss broccoli on the opposite side of the same sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on middle rack until broccoli is tender and meatloaves are cooked through, 15-20 minutes. If broccoli finishes first, remove it and continue roasting meatloaves.
- Meanwhile, melt ½ tablespoon butter (1 tablespoon for 4 servings) in a medium pan over medium heat. Add remaining minced onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; stir vigorously. Whisk in stock concentrate and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Stir in remaining parsley; season with salt and pepper.
- Slice meatloaves crosswise. Divide meatloaves, potato wedges and broccoli among plates. Spoon gravy over meatloaves and serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra tender meatloaves, avoid overmixing the beef mixture.
If the broccoli finishes roasting before the meatloaves, remove it from the sheet to prevent overcooking.
The gravy can be made ahead and reheated gently.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of ground meat?
Yes, ground turkey or chicken can be substituted, but note that the cooking time may vary slightly.
Can I prepare the meatloaves in advance?
Absolutely. Shape the loaves and refrigerate them up to a day ahead. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
What can I use instead of panko breadcrumbs?
Regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers work well as a substitute.
