Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons mustard and ketchup.

  • In a medium bowl, combine beef, egg, panko, 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Form into four 2-by-4-inch loaves; place on baking sheet. Brush with mustard mixture; top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper.

  • Transfer meatloaves to upper rack of oven, and place potatoes on lower rack. Bake until loaves are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets after 10 minutes. Remove loaves from oven; continue to roast potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon oil, remaining teaspoon mustard, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce to bowl, and toss. Serve meatloaves with potatoes and salad.

Cook's Notes

Panko breadcrumbs, which blend right in and lighten the texture of these meatloaves, can be found in the Asian-foods section of the supermarket.

Very basic meatloaf recipe without a lot of "stuff" in it. Family favorite! Make the entire meal all the time.

This recipe is delish! Boyfriend hates cheese, so I replaced it with some Frank's Red (hot sauce that's not really hot, just flavorful) and some garlic powder to mimic the high notes of the cheese. I served it with mashed potatoes and peas. The alteration came out way better than expected, it was a huge hit, and will be making it again!

This turned out great and I've made it several times. I like to serve it with peas and strawberries. I need to double the recipe since it's 13 y.o. (football player) favorite so it does not go far.

I don't really care for meatloaf, myself; I make it because my husband loves it. But even I liked this dish! Great recipe... much tastier than the really ketchup-y versions I recall from childhood. The ground chuck is what makes it especially delicious!

Good recipe! Family loved it. I agree with Denise Viola; I find I can eat anything if I just remember to take small portions of meat

If you want the nutrition info, you can buy the magazine or you can use one of the many free recipe nutrition caluclators available on the web. Would it be nice to have? Sure. But I am really tired of the helpful comments getting drowned out by the whiny demand for extra info from a free website.

Also, while I will not bash Martha's website, I am concerned that as a forerunner of excellent food and drink, as well as being the smart omni-media mogul she is, Martha should perhaps take this feedback from her contributors to heart and implement some simple changes. Since everyone asks for nutritional information, why not create some jobs and get people working on that addition?

While being given all the ingredients is usually enought to make informed choices about healthy eating, having the nutritonal information is a great addition, especially if someone has never used certain ingredients before. Those of you who chastise the contributors who are concerned with this, are the ones who are ignorant to the ever growing rate of obesity in this country, and we should applaud those who make the effort to learn and practise healthy eating.

If you are concerned about nutrition, HBP and diabetes, knowing the ingredients in the recipe should be enough for you to make an educated decision. There is no reason to accuse others of ignorance. The constant harping about nutritional values is incessant and annoying. Either figure it out yourself or don't make it.

To SusanBlossom, either you are very naive or don't get it!!!!! Have you ever heard of diabetes, or high blood pressure, that is why it is extremely important to list the nutrional valve, so we can get on with life and live. Please don't be so ignorant.

These are quick easy and delicious. They reheat so well and with the individual portions make them wonderful leftovers or lunch the next day. I used a jalapeno honey mustard and added some Worcestershire and hot sauce to the meatloaves. Yummy! I will definitely make these again and make a larger batch to freeze.

I found this a terrific recipe when cooking for 2 people. After preparing the 4 meatloaves you can bake 2 and freeze the other 2 for another night. Just leave off the topping of cheddar cheese until you are ready to bake.

We loved this! My husband made it last night with a few changes. He used 1/2 ground turkey to lower the fat a bit (can't sacrifice the cheese!), a chopped jalapeno pepper for a little heat and used spinach instead of boston lettuce for the nutritional value. Everything was fantastic! A new meal for the rotation!

We loved these! I subbed. torn wheat bread for panko and only had honey dijon mustard. I used sharp cheddar for the cheese. I put the ketchup and mustard into the recipe by accident and it was still very good. So tender and flavorful. The potatoes were not that great.

My husband and I really liked this. It was really yummy - I found the loaves to have a lot of flavor - mostly thanks to the topping. I wanted to spice the potatoes up a bit so I added some seasoned salt and garlic powder. Also, since I subscribe to the magazine and the nutrition is in the back, this is what the magazine lists for the nutrition of the Mini Honey-Mustard Meatloaves with Roasted Potatoes: per serv.: 484 cal; 23.3 g fat (8.8 g sat fat); 35.4 g protein; 34.3 g carb; 4 g fiber.

I was craving meatloaf and decided to try these. They were delicious! I even got compliments from my husband. One note: I did substitute ground sirloin for ground chuck since I couldn't find it at the grocery store. I would definitely make these again.

Made this last night and it turned out well. It is basically a cheeseburger w/out the bun, so I'm sure this would be a great meal for kids! My husband and I enjoyed it, but there isn't a whole lot of flavor in the meatloaf itself and we felt it was lacking something. All in all, a quick and easy meal, though. I probably won't make it again, simply because I have other, more flavorful meatloaf recipes. I will make mini loaves as that greatly reduces the cooking time!

To cjsgama , there is no way a singe serving is 169.35 calories ! EACH serving is 677 calories , do not divide by four , that is just the number of servings that the recipe makes. If you get in the habit of looking at the calorie content of all foods/ pkgs. you will get better at figuring out how many calories you are eating .

I like to use whole wheat bread. About 2 slices for every lb of meat. I don't dry it out, just straight out of the bag. Makes the loaf nice and moist but not mucky at all.

Very tasty. I made these on Sunday and my family loved them! I must add that my kids generally don't go for meatloaf but they were very disappointed that there wasn't enough for seconds. They also wanted to know when I would make it next!

I also find that if I use oatmeal instead of bread crumbs it is jucier when using a leaner cut of beef.

I have a recipe calculating program I purchased, but the one at sparkrecipes.com is actually better. I ran this recipe with low-fat cheddar (which is what i would use) and regular breadcrumbs (panko is not in the database - but if I had a can to see the label, I could add it to the database). I run most recipes through that if the cookbook doesn't provide info!

There are a couple of ways to lighten up this recipe - you could try using a leaner cut of meat like ground sirloin or even ground chicken/turkey. However, since these cuts are leaner, the end product will be dry. To combat this, I suggest adding some finely chopped veggies such as onions or shallots, bell pepper of any color, zuccini or squash, etc. I just throw some in the mini food processor until they are practically pureed, this way you will not need to sautee prior to mixing in.

I thought it was great that somebody had the nutritional values of that meal and shared it. It sounds like a good meal, but makes it more enjoyable if I know whether I want to invest the calories in it or not.
