Glaze ‘em, smother ‘em, stuff ‘em—meatloaves really can do it all. These loaves mix things up with a spoonful of creamy sauce over top, made with sweet caramelized onion, cream cheese, butter, and a pinch of parsley. On the side, sumac—a tangy Middle Eastern spice—seasons pattypan squash and broccoli with citrusy flavor (similar to lemon zest!). Serve it all together, letting the sauce pool around the veggies, for a perfectly paired plate and yet another meatloaf miracle.

Cooking Oil
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Quarter pattypan squash lengthwise. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
In a medium bowl (use a large bowl for 4 servings), gently combine beef*, panko, garlic powder, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1¼ tsp for 4), and pepper.
Form into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4).
Place meatloaves on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. TIP: Line sheet with foil first for easier cleanup. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes.
Once meatloaves have roasted for 10 minutes, toss squash on empty side with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets; roast meatloaves on middle rack and squash on top rack.) Return to top rack and roast until squash is browned and tender and meatloaves are cooked through, 12-15 minutes more. TIP: Love extra-crispy veggies? Once meatloaves are done, remove from sheet and continue roasting pattypan squash for 2-3 minutes more.
While everything roasts, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Pick parsley leaves from stems; roughly chop leaves.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes (7-10 minutes for 4 servings). Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
Add a large drizzle of oil to same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 6-9 minutes. TIP: Lower heat and add a splash of water if onion begins to brown too quickly.
Add cream cheese, stock concentrate, ½ cup water, and ¾ tsp sugar (1½ tsp for 4 servings) to pan with onion; cook until thickened, 1-3 minutes more.
Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and a pinch of chopped parsley. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Carefully toss broccoli and pattypan squash together with half the sumac (all for 4 servings).
Divide meatloaves and broccoli and pattypan squash between plates. Spoon caramelized onion sauce over meatloaves; garnish with remaining chopped parsley. Serve.
