Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground pork, cook until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • If using ground turkey, cook until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side.

  • If using Impossible burger, cook until Impossible burger reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare Green Onions and Form Meatloaves

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko and 2 Tbsp. water. Let sit, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ground beef, crème fraîche, 1/3 the Cajun seasoning (use less if spice-averse; reserve remaining for vegetables and sauce), and 1/4 tsp. salt. Form mixture into two evenly-sized, oval-shaped loaves, about 4" long and 2 1/2" wide.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatloaves

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add meatloaves to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until lightly charred on one side, 4-6 minutes.

    Flip meatloaves and cover. Cook until beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While meatloaves cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add 1/4 cup water, white portions of green onions, and cauliflower to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and cauliflower is tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Uncover and add cabbage, 1/3 the remaining Cajun seasoning (to taste; reserve remaining for sauce), and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir often until vegetables are lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in butter until melted and combined.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, remaining Cajun seasoning (to taste), and 1 Tbsp. water. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until melted and heated through, 30-60 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Stir until smooth. If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping meatloaf with sauce and green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
