For the Mashed Potatoes:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the meatloaf mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until just combined.
- Shape the meatloaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Spread half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
- Bake the meatloaf: Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Remove, spread the remaining glaze on top, and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Prepare the mashed potatoes: While the meatloaf bakes, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Cook the green beans: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Serve: Slice the meatloaf and serve over mashed potatoes with green beans on the side. Enjoy! 🍽️
