Ingredients:

2 lb ground beef (80/20%)
910g
1 onion
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 carrot
60g
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
30g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
2 tbsp rosemary
30g
1/3 cup dried oregano
50g
1 sweet potato
200g
1/3 cup tarragon (estragon)
50g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
1/3 cup tomato sauce
72g
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
90g
2 tbsp pine nuts
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Vegetables: Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Peel and grate the carrot and sweet potato.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, BBQ sauce, egg, flour, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, grated sweet potato, tarragon, and basil leaves. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to ensure it is evenly distributed.
4. Top with Tomato Sauce: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with pine nuts.
5. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and a meat thermometer reads an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
6. Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier meatloaf.
7. Serve: Slice the meatloaf and serve it with your favorite sides. Enjoy your Mixed Herb and Sweet Potato Meatloaf!

Tips:

- Finely chop the onions, garlic, and carrots to ensure they are evenly distributed and cooked through in the meatloaf.

- Use fresh herbs where possible to maximize flavor. If using dried herbs, reduce the quantity by one-third.

- To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, cover it with foil during the first half of baking, then uncover it to allow the top to crisp up.

- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).

- Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes after baking before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meatloaf more moist and easier to slice.

This Mixed Herb and Sweet Potato Meatloaf is not just a treat for the taste buds but also a wholesome meal packed with nutritious ingredients. The combination of mixed herbs brings a fresh, earthy flavor while the sweet potato adds a subtle sweetness and moist texture. Whether you're enjoying it fresh out of the oven or as leftovers, this meatloaf is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection.
