Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions and preheat to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince the whites. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if needed.
- On a baking sheet, toss potato wedges with a generous drizzle of oil, Fry Seasoning, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer. Roast on the top rack until golden and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, in a large bowl combine ground beef, scallion whites, panko, beef stock concentrate, 1 tablespoon water, ½ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Mix gently and shape into two 1-inch-thick loaves. Place loaves on one side of a second baking sheet. (If you have extra sides or appetizers, prepare them now.)
- On the opposite side of the same sheet, toss broccoli with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the broccoli. Roast on the middle rack until broccoli is tender and meatloaves are cooked through, 15-20 minutes. If broccoli finishes first, remove it and continue roasting meatloaves. For cheesy potatoes, skip the cheese on broccoli; instead, after 20 minutes, remove potato sheet, top with cheddar and return to top rack until melted, 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and warmed through, 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer meatloaves to a cutting board and slice crosswise. Arrange potatoes, meatloaves, broccoli, BBQ sauce, sour cream and scallion greens on a platter or serve family style. Let everyone build their own plate.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy wedges, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.
If you prefer a milder BBQ sauce, reduce the brown sugar or use a smoky variety.
To save time, you can prep the meatloaf mixture and sauce while the potatoes roast.
FAQ
Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?
Yes, ground turkey or chicken works well. Just be sure to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
How do I make the potato wedges extra crispy?
Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet and don’t overcrowd. Using a higher heat (425°F) and tossing halfway through helps.
Can I prepare the meatloaves ahead of time?
Absolutely. Shape the loaves and refrigerate up to 24 hours before roasting. Add a few extra minutes to the cook time if starting from cold.
