Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined. Shape into a loaf and place in a baking dish.

  2. Step 2

    Bake the meatloaf for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the top is browned.

  3. Step 3

    While the meatloaf bakes, peel and quarter 1 lb potatoes. Boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.

  4. Step 4

    Steam or boil 1 head of broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain.

  5. Step 5

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup tomato sauce over medium until hot, about 5 minutes. Slice the meatloaf and serve with potatoes, broccoli, and sauce spooned over the top.
