Instructions

Prepare the Meatloaf

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, quick oats, milk, egg, cheese, shallot, and seasonings. Mix until just combined. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Transfer the meat mixture into a buttered 8×4-inch loaf pan, pressing it in evenly. Spread the glaze over the top.

Bake the Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the meatloaf for approximately 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Optionally, broil for a few minutes to caramelize the glaze. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Prepare Potatoes

Rinse and halve or quarter the red potatoes, keeping the skin on. In a medium saucepan, add potatoes, minced garlic, and kosher salt. Fill with water until the potatoes are submerged.

Cook the Potatoes

Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. While the potatoes cook, gently warm butter and sour cream in a small saucepan. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash, then stir in the butter and sour cream mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Prepare Green Beans

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and green beans. Sauté for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder.

Serve

Plate a slice of meatloaf alongside mashed red potatoes and green beans. Garnish potatoes with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Prepare the ingredients to mix the meatloaf.

Dice the shallot and shred the cheddar cheese and add ingredients to a large mixing bowl.

Mix the ground beef together with the quick oats, milk, egg, cheese, shallot, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Mix the glaze of ketchup, whole grain mustard, and light brown sugar.

Press the meat mixture into a buttered 8×4 loaf pan.

Spread the prepared glaze over top.

Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size and leave the skin on. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and measure 1 tablespoon of kosher salt for the water to boil the potatoes.

Add the potatoes with the garlic and salt to water in a medium saucepan and boil about 10-12 minutes until tender.

While the potatoes are boiling, heat the butter and sour cream in a separate small saucepan to stir in when mashing. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan and keep on medium heat to steam off the moisture.

Mash the potatoes and stir in the warmed butter and sour cream and stir in the salt and pepper.

Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet on medium heat and cook the green beans about 10 minutes and season with salt, pepper, onion powder.

Let the meatloaf rest about 10 minutes before serving so the juices settle.

Slice and serve the meatloaf with the mashed potatoes and green beans. Garnish the potatoes with fresh parsley.
