Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 oz. parsley
  • 12 oz. green beans
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup panko
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 4 tsp honey
  • 1 oz. sliced almonds

Directions

  1. eheat oven to 450. Mince or grate garlic. Chop parsley. Trim green beans. Halve and peel onion. Using a box grater, grate one half into a large bowl.

  2. Add garlic, parsley, panko, beef, and 1/2 tsp salt to bowl with onion. Season with pepper, then mix with hands to combine. Form into two loaves and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. In a small bowl mix balsamic vinegar and ketchup, then brush onto meatloaves. Bake in oven until no longer pink in center, about 25 minutes total.

  3. Peel and chop sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a large pot with a pinch of salt and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced by a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  4. After meatloaves have baked 10 minutes, remove from oven. Toss green beans on same baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Return to oven and bake until meatloaves are cooked through and green beans are slightly browned, about 15 minutes more.

  5. Mash sweet potato in pot with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Add butter and honey. Continue mashing to melt butter and combine. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  6. When meatloaves and green beans are done, sprinkle almonds over green beans and toss to combine. Divide meatloaves between plates and serve with sweet potato mash and green beans on the side.
