Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 tbsp mustard. Shape into a loaf and place on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Bake the meatloaf for 20-25 minutes, until browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F). Meanwhile, peel and chop 1.5 lb potatoes into chunks.

  3. Step 3

    Boil potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and mash with 2 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup milk (or water) until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Toss 1 cup cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt. Roast on a small pan for 10 minutes, until blistered and soft.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the meatloaf and serve with mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, and a drizzle of the remaining 1 tbsp mustard mixed with 1 tbsp water for a quick sauce.
