Ingredienser
  

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs, divided
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, milk, onion, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then shape into a loaf and place on a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs over the top of the loaf and press lightly to help them stick. Bake for 45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • While the meatloaf bakes, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a second baking sheet. Roast alongside the meatloaf for the final 25 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a portion of creamed spinach and roasted carrots on the side.

merknader

Use fresh herbs in the meatloaf mix for the best crust flavor. If the creamed spinach thickens too much while sitting, stir in a splash of milk before serving. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat to keep the spinach creamy.
