Meatloaf

Gravy

Smashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetable

Method

Meatloaf

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape and Bake

    Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Gravy

  1. 3

    Prepare the Gravy

    In a saucepan, heat the beef broth over medium heat. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the broth, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Smashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, cover the cubed potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until creamy and well combined.

Seasonal Vegetable

  1. 6

    Prepare the Green Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add trimmed green beans, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
