Take a loaf off. It seems like the little ones are almost always ready to dig into a real meat and ’tatoes meal like this one. By reformulating ground beef meatloaf into individually roasted portions, a family classic gets a classy treatment. A splash of BBQ sauce helps snazz it up even more. Serve with a generously buttered mash and a side of green bean amandine that’s nutty for crispness and crunch.

Preparation
Prepare & roast the meatloaves
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Mince the garlic. In a large bowl, combine the beef, ½ the garlic, ½ the BBQ sauce, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Form into 4 small loaves*. Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, 20 to 22 min., until cooked through. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining BBQ sauce. Switch the oven to broil, 2 to 3 min., until browned.
Make the mash
Meanwhile, medium-dice the potatoes. Add to the pot of boiling water and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P. Keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans.
Roast the green beans
On a second lined sheet pan, toss the green beans with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender.
Make the green bean amandine
When the green beans are crisp-tender, remove from the oven and sprinkle with the almonds (roughly chop if whole) and remaining garlic. Roast, 3 to 5 min., until the almonds are toasted and fragrant.
Plate your dish
Divide the mash between your plates. Top with the meatloaves and green bean amandine. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
