Roasted Garlic & Onion Meatloaves
with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Broccoli
- Milk
- Wheat
Meatloaf is one of our (many) go-to comfort meals, and we never tire of taking this delicious dish to new heights of creativity. In this spin, our flavor-packed roasted onion and garlic spread takes center stage in the meatloaf mix as well as in the creamy ketchup glaze you’ll spread over the tops. And could we really call it comfort food without two homestyle sides? Of course not! That’s why there’s a generous scoop of mashed potatoes swirled with sour cream and butter, plus glazed roasted broccoli with a sprinkle of parsley to tie it all together.

Cooking Steps
Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup potato cooking liquid (2 cups for 4 servings).
Drain and return potatoes to pot. Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.
While potatoes cook, cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Roughly chop parsley.
Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast on middle rack until tender, 15-20 minutes.
In a large bowl, gently combine beef*, panko, half the garlic and onion spread, half the parsley, salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. Form beef mixture into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4 servings); place on a second baking sheet.
Roast meatloaves on top rack until browned and mostly cooked through, 16 minutes.
Meanwhile, place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30-60 seconds. Stir in remaining garlic and onion spread and ketchup.
Once meatloaves have roasted 16 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Spoon garlic onion glaze over meatloaves.
Return to top rack until meatloaves are cooked through and glaze is tacky, 2-4 minutes more.
Add sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to pot with potatoes; mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide meatloaves, mashed potatoes, and roasted broccoli between plates in separate sections. Sprinkle everything with remaining parsley and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The roasted garlic and onion spread is the star — it makes the meatloaves rich, savory, and deeply satisfying 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward to pull together, though a few noted it involves more active cooking than a typical weeknight meal.
- Suggestions: Some found the salt level too high; hold back on added salt since the spread and glaze already season the meat well. A few cooks swapped in ground turkey or mixed pork and beef for a different take, both with great results.
- Leftovers: Leftovers reheat well — one reviewer paired a second meatloaf with carrots and mac and cheese for a satisfying next-day lunch.
- Broccoli: If roasted broccoli isn't your thing, steaming it is a popular alternative that several reviewers preferred for texture and flavor. Lower the oven temperature slightly if your broccoli tends to burn before it's tender.
- Glaze: A few found the ketchup-onion glaze a touch too sweet or vinegary; start with half the amount and add more to taste. One reviewer loved adding it deeper into the meat for extra flavor throughout.
- Mashed potatoes: The sour cream mashed potatoes were a crowd-pleaser — go easy on the reserved cooking liquid to avoid a soupy texture, and consider reducing the sour cream slightly if you prefer a milder flavor.
Reviews from our home cooks
The best meat loaf I have ever had. The garlic and onion sauce was so good and my husband loved it. He doesn't like the texture of onions so the sauce was perfect. Will definitely do this one again!
I gave this recipe 5 stars for flavor. The garlic and onion spread smelled so good that I couldn't wait to try it! It didn't disappoint at all! We only have red meat once every couple of weeks, so this was our cheat night and everything tasted delicious. The problem I faced was the high oven temps. I understand roasting at higher heat but I had to back my oven down to 400 and my broccoli was tender and charred nicely at 12 min. I bumped the oven back to your recommended 425 for the meatloaves and in 5 min it was burning on the pan and smoking up the kitchen. I turned it down to 400 and cooked it the recommended time and it was cooked nicely to 165 internal temp. Not sure why but I've cooked all of my roasted dishes we've tried from Hello Fresh at lower temps and they turn out well.
HelloFresh meatloaves are probably one of my most favorite meals on here of all time. No joke. The garlic powder and onion powder are amazing but I usually add a dry packet of Lipton onion soup mix along with the panko breadcrumbs and mix in a small bit of garlic-infused extra olive oil and it makes the meatloaves NEXT LEVEL!
Definitely tasted good. I was able to split it into 5 servings and it was well-received by all diners. I also used low-fat butter to save on a few calories, which helped. The garlic and onion jam was awesome! I would love to find that and use it in future recipes. If I could sub the mashed potatoes with either more broccoli or another veggie to get it under 600 calories per serving, that would be perfect.
Again a simple but delicious dish to prepare and didn't need much time to consume (yum!). The broccoli is excellent and the roasting is a much better way to prepare than steaming. Gotta have this again especially as a post-workout meal.
I really enjoyed this meal & also learned how to cook better mash & broccoli.
Great flavors. I have a gas stove so the time told to cook broccoli makes it extra crispy burnt taste so I recommend maybe boiling the broccoli with a special seasoning.
The meatloaf was fantastic! The garlic onion mixture was perfect. Very easy meal to make as well. Loved it!
Liked the onions in and on the meatloaf. More flavor than my own. Broccoli was fresh. Good sized portions. I made three meatloaves and they were plenty for me.
Pretty tasty! I don't care for broccoli cooked in oven, so I steamed the broccoli. Potatoes were delicious. Meatloaves were tasty.
