review_highlights:
  - theme: Flavor
    text: The balsamic ketchup glaze was a hit, though some preferred a milder balsamic taste.
  - theme: Ease of prep
    text: Shaping the mixture into smaller patties instead of one large loaf cooks more easily and creates more crispy edges.

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mince or grate @garlic{2%clove} (we sent more). Chop @parsley{¼%oz}. Trim @green beans{12%oz}. Halve and peel @yellow onion{1%unit}. Using a box grater, grate one half into a #large bowl{} (feel free to use the other half as you like).

Add garlic and parsley to same bowl with @panko breadcrumbs{½%cup} and @ground beef{20%oz} and @salt{}. Season with @pepper{}, then mix with hands to combine. Form into two 1-inch-tall loaves and place on a lightly oiled #baking sheet{}. In a #small bowl{}, mix @balsamic vinegar{2%tbsp} (we sent more) and @ketchup{2%unit}, then brush onto meatloaves. Bake in oven until no longer pink in center, about ~{25%minutes} total.

Peel and chop @sweet potatoes{24%oz} into ½-inch cubes. Place in a #large pot{} with a pinch of salt and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork, ~{10%minutes}. Drain and return to pot.

After meatloaves have baked 10 minutes, remove from oven. Toss green beans on same baking sheet with a drizzle of @olive oil{3%tsp} and a pinch of salt and pepper. (TIP: Use tongs to avoid burning your hands.) Return to oven and bake until meatloaves are cooked through and green beans are slightly browned, ~{15%minutes} more.

Mash sweet potato in pot with a fork or #potato masher{} until smooth. (TIP: If potatoes have cooled, quickly reheat over medium-low heat.) Add @butter{2%tbsp} and @honey{1%oz}. Continue mashing to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper.

When meatloaves and green beans are done, sprinkle @almonds{1%oz} over green beans and toss to combine. Divide meatloaves between plates and serve with sweet potato mash and green beans on the side.
