Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Trim green beans. Mince garlic and shallot. Pick thyme leaves from stems.
- Toss potatoes and green beans with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, panko, half the minced shallot, half the garlic, salt and pepper. Form into two mini loaves. Place on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush tops with ketchup.
- Roast everything together for 15 minutes or until meatloaves are cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- While roasting, make the gravy: In a small saucepan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Cook remaining shallot and garlic for 1 minute. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute more. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup water and beef stock concentrate. Add thyme leaves. Simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve meatloaves with roasted potatoes and green beans. Drizzle gravy over meatloaves.
Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, let the meatloaf mixture rest for 5 minutes before shaping.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, add a little more flour or let it simmer longer.
Swap green beans with broccoli or asparagus if desired.
FAQ
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, ground turkey works well, but the meatloaves may be slightly less moist. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture to keep them juicy.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Can I freeze the meatloaves?
Yes, freeze the cooked meatloaves (without gravy) for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven.
