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 foil-lined sheet pan and roast, 20 to 22 min., until cooked through.
- Brush with the remaining BBQ sauce.
- Switch the oven to broil, 2 to 3 min., until browned.
Make the mash
- Meanwhile, add the potatoes 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.
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, 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!
