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
  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf

    Combine liquid egg, 1/4 cup milk (reserve remaining for mashed potatoes), meatloaf seasoning, ground beef, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Place ground beef mixture on a prepared baking sheet and use wet hands to shape into a loaf approximately 9" by 5". This recipe card should cover it by about 1" on all sides. Brush with ketchup and bake until meatloaf reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 50-60 minutes. Rest 5-10 minutes before slicing. While meatloaf cooks, make potatoes.

  3. 3

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    After meatloaf has baked 20-25 minutes, peel potatoes and cut into 1" dice. Bring a large pot with diced potatoes covered with water and 1 tsp. salt to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, 17-20 minutes. Drain in colander, return to pot, and mash with butter and 1/2 cup milk, adding additional milk 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with salt, cover, and set aside. While potatoes simmer, roast beans.

  4. 4

    Cook the Green Beans

    After meatloaf has cooked 45 minutes, trim ends off green beans. Place green beans on second prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1/2 tsp. salt. Spread into a single layer and roast until beans are just tender, 12-16 minutes. While beans roast, start gravy.

  5. 5

    Make the Gravy

    Mix 2 cups water into cornstarch. Place small pot over high heat and add demi-glace and cornstarch mixture to pot. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Demi-glace has plenty of seasoning; no need to add salt.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Cut meatloaf into 1 1/2" thick slices and serve on a plate with mashed potatoes, beans, and gravy.
