Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Meatloaf:

• 1 ½ lbs (680g) ground beef
• ½ lb (225g) ground pork (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp smoked paprika

For the Glaze:

• ½ cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

For the Roasted Potatoes:

• 1 ½ lbs (680g) baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the meatloaf: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Mix until just combined.
3. Shape and place on a baking sheet: Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the center of the baking sheet.
4. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Brush half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
5. Prepare the potatoes: In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary (or thyme), salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes around the meatloaf on the baking sheet.
6. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
7. Glaze again: Remove from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
8. Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.

Enjoy! 😊🍽
