Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. 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. 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.

    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. 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.
