Individual beef meatloaves are stuffed with melty cheddar, roasted alongside golden potato wedges and lightly charred broccoli, then topped with even more cheese in the final minutes of cooking. A simple ketchup-mayo special sauce is drizzled over the top, while crispy fried shallot adds a satisfying crunch. It's a comforting, crowd-pleasing dinner with all the sides built right in.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Trim and peel carrots; cut into ½-inch-thick rounds.

  • Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces.

Roast Potatoes & Broccoli
2
  • Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet).

  • Roast on top rack for 5 minutes. Toss broccoli on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss broccoli on a second sheet; roast potatoes on top rack and broccoli on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.) Return to oven and roast until potatoes are golden brown and tender and broccoli is lightly charred, 15-20 minutes more.

Form Meatloaves
3
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, soak panko with 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and stock concentrate until liquid has absorbed. Add beef*, ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4), and pepper; mix to combine.

  • Form beef mixture into two ½-inch-thick rounds (four rounds for 4). Reserve half the cheddar for topping; divide remaining cheddar between the centers of each round. Gently fold meat around cheese, shaping and sealing to create 1-inch-thick loaves.

Bake Meatloaves
4
  • Once potatoes have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Add meatloaves to opposite side of sheet. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting; add meatloaves to a second sheet and roast on middle rack.)

  • Roast on top rack until potatoes are browned and tender and meatloaves are cooked through, 17-20 minutes more.

  • In the last 2 minutes of roasting, top meatloaves with reserved cheddar. Return to oven until cheese melts.

Make Pan Sauce
5
  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and let melt. Once melted, turn off heat; transfer butter to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.

Fry Shallot & Make Sauce
6
  • In a small bowl, toss shallot with flour and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • In pan used for carrots, heat a ⅓-inch layer of oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of flour sizzles immediately when added to the pan, add coated shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes.

  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallot to a paper-towel-lined plate.

  • Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, combine ketchup and mayonnaise. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Slice meatloaves crosswise if desired.

  • Divide meatloaves, potato wedges, carrots, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle meatloaves with some of the special sauce. Serve remaining sauce on the side with potatoes for dipping. Garnish meatloaves with crispy shallot and serve.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Some found the meatloaf tasty, while others felt it lacked flavor. Consider adding extra seasoning to boost taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, perfect for a comforting weeknight meal. Swapping vegetables was simple.
  • Suggestions: To prevent cheese leakage, try shaping loaves as open-faced "boats" instead of fully sealing them.
  • Texture: A few found the meatloaf mushy; consider adding more dry ingredients for a firmer consistency.
  • Cooking tips: Watch cooking times closely; some had issues with doneness. Adjust veggie timing to finish with the meatloaf.

The timing is always off and the veggies are frequently done before everything else. So they're either cold or really overdone if you try to keep warm while finishing up the rest of the meal.

I liked that you can change out the vegetable side dish-- we chose broccoli instead of the carrots. Quick comfort food!!!

Didn't know the broccoli went with this one. Didn't make the carrots and used the shallot in the meatloaf and roasted with the potatoes.
