Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and cut sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic.

Make Mash
2
  • Place sweet potato and butternut squash in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Reserve ¼ cup cooking liquid (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain and return to pot.

  • Mash sweet potato and squash with 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and reserved cooking liquid until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Form Meatloaves
3
  • While sweet potato and squash cook, in a small bowl, combine ketchup, mustard, and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings).

  • In a medium bowl, soak panko with ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4) until softened. Add beef*, half the Italian Seasoning (all for 4), salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4), and pepper.

  • Gently combine mixture, then form into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4); transfer to a baking sheet.

Cook Meatloaves
4
  • Evenly top meatloaves with half the ketchup mixture. Bake on middle rack for 10 minutes.

  • After meatloaves have cooked 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully spoon remaining ketchup mixture over meatloaves. Return to middle rack and bake until cooked through, 5-10 minutes more.

Sauté Cabbage
5
  • Meanwhile, in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan, heat 2 tsp oil (4 tsp for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add cabbage, onion, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes.

  • Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Stir in ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4); cook until water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.

Serve
6
  • Divide meatloaves, butternut squash and sweet potato mash, and sautéed cabbage between plates. Serve.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Some found the meatloaf bland; consider adding more Italian seasoning or Worcestershire sauce for depth 🍖.
  • Ease of prep: The recipe was straightforward, but soaking the panko led to a mushy texture for many.
  • Suggestions: Try using less water when mixing the meatloaf, and consider air frying for better texture.
  • Sides: The butternut squash and sweet potato mash was a hit; brighten the cabbage with a splash of vinegar.

I loved this recipe. But with the ground turkey substitution, the meatloaves came out a bit mushy. I think I would use less water when making them next time.

Everything is very bland. The meatloaf is too mushy. I recommend not adding water to the panko. Also use all of the Italian spice to the meat and add a bit of brown sugar to the catsup and mustard. A little pumpkin spice or brown sugar, or even a savory spice would help the sweet potato/squash.

Swapped beef for turkey. The cabbage was the star of the show, absolutely delicious!

Would order again, meatloaf sauce could use some work, but I can fix that on my own by adding some worcestershire and tomato paste.

This was OK. I have never really liked meatloaf, but this wasn't too bad. The cabbage didn't absorb much flavor when sauteed.

It was okay, but the flavors didn't mesh well together. Each item tasted fine individually but somehow it just didn't hit the mark as a whole.

Food tasted good with lots of flavor. Garlic clove was very small, brown, soft and stuck to bag. Had to use my own.
