In our humble opinion, meatloaf is one of the most underrated dishes—it’s oh-so-comforting, but easily dressed up with whatever spices and sauces we’re craving. Here we coat individual loaves with a glaze of ketchup, spicy chili flakes, sweet soy, and tangy lime. Fluffy rice gets a fragrant touch with the addition of fresh ginger, while ponzu gives roasted green beans a citrusy punch. Easy and super flavorful … talk about a meal we meat-LOVE.

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Trim green beans if necessary. Quarter lime.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, in a large bowl, combine beef*, scallion whites, panko, remaining ginger, salt (we used ¾ tsp), and pepper. (For 4 servings, use 1¼ tsp salt.) Gently combine, then form into two 1-inch-tall loaves. Place on one side of a baking sheet. (For 4, form beef mixture into four loaves A few minutes in the oven will and spread out across entire sheet.)
• Toss green beans on opposite side of sheet from meatloaves with a drizzle of oil. (For 4 servings, add green beans to a second baking sheet; roast meatloaves on top rack and green beans on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until meatloaves are cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 15-18 minutes. TIP: Green beans may finish first. If so, remove from sheet and continue roasting meatloaves.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sweet soy glaze, ketchup, a squeeze of lime juice to taste, and a pinch of chili flakes to taste. • In the last 2-3 minutes of roasting, remove baking sheet from oven; carefully brush tops of meatloaves with 1 TBSP glaze mixture each. (For 4 servings, leave green beans roasting while you glaze the meatloaves.) TIP: Save any remaining glaze mixture for serving. • Return to oven until glaze is tacky.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Toss green beans with ponzu and half the sesame seeds. • Divide rice, green beans, and meatloaves between plates. Drizzle meatloaves with any remaining glaze mixture. Garnish with scallion greens, remaining sesame seeds, and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
