Meatloaf à la Mom
with Potato Wedges, Broccoli & Gravy
- Wheat
- Soy
- Milk
Everyone agrees that no one makes meatloaf quite like Mom. But our chefs will settle for the next best thing by taking a page from her cookbook and passing on this recipe. The meal stays as true to tradition as can be: Ground beef mini loaves are brushed with a ketchup glaze, served with roasted broccoli and potatoes, and drizzled with an herby gravy. And if you’d like to claim this recipe as your own, don’t worry—mum’s the word.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Peel and mince garlic. Halve, peel, and mince half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). Roughly chop parsley. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, soak bread with 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings); break up with your hands until pasty. Combine beef*, garlic, half the minced onion, half the parsley, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4), and pepper. Gently combine, then form into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4). Arrange on one side of a second baking sheet. • Brush tops of meatloaves with half the ketchup (all for 4).
• Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from meatloaves with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on middle rack until broccoli is tender and meatloaves are cooked through, 15-20 minutes. TIP: If broccoli finishes first, remove from sheet and continue roasting meatloaves.
• Meanwhile, melt ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium pan over medium heat. Add remaining minced onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Sprinkle with flour; stir vigorously to combine. Whisk in stock concentrate and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened and saucy, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in remaining parsley; season with salt and pepper.
• Slice meatloaves crosswise. • Divide meatloaves, potato wedges, and broccoli between plates. Spoon gravy over meatloaves and serve.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160º.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love the meatloaf recipe. The ketchup on top is just like my mom's. But we didn't make the gravy, that wasn't something we did. Love the broccoli in the oven. Kind of tired of potatoes so we did a salad.
Meatloaf a la mom is da bomb! So delicious- was hoping my husband would say that my own meatloaf was better, but after tasting this, we both agreed that this was the way to prepare meatloaf!
Meatloaf a' la Mom was delicious, but the gravy was off the charts fantastic! Highly recommend!
Meat a la Mom was so easy to prepare, pop in the oven and enjoy delicious meatloaf. Will order again.
Meatloaf is served with a tomato gravy OR a brown gravy. The completely superfluous brown gravy was boring. I skipped it. This was the best meatloaf I have had from you. I mashed the potatoes for a traditional Mom's meatloaf. I might get this again but I will not bother making the brown gravy.
My mom makes delicious meatloaf. This was practically as good. The broccoli and potatoes were so easy to prepare and a kid fav!
So good. Loved the idea of making patties and baking them on a sheet instead of a loaf pan. But would rather serve meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Really nice meatloaf recipe. Added extra onion and bell peppers to the broccoli for extra roasted veggies. We liked the gravy!
Fantastic! A filling and hearty meal. Lots of broccoli and potatoes, and the meatloaf with gravy was delicious and the perfect size!
I'm a mom that's changed her meatloaf recipe to this one... and I thought mine was darn good!!
