Nosh on a delicious dose of nostalgia with meatloaf and mash, done the carb-conscious way.

Upgrade regular tater mash with butternut squash for velvety depth and add a generous portion of roasted broccoli. In less than half an hour, you’ve improved on a dinnertime classic.

Preparation
Make the mash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the squash and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P. Keep warm.
Roast the broccoli
Meanwhile, on a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Prepare & cook the meatloaves
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the beef, panko, onions, garlic, ½ the BBQ sauce, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Form into 2 small loaves (double for 4 portions). In a medium, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the meatloaves* and cook, partially covered, 5 to 7 min. per side, until browned and cooked through.
Finish & serve
When the broccoli is tender, remove from the oven and switch the oven to broil. Brush the meatloaves with the remaining BBQ sauce and season with the remaining spices. Broil the meatloaves, 2 to 3 min., until the BBQ sauce has browned. Divide the mash and broccoli between your plates. Top the mash with the meatloaves. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
