Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • loaf pan or baking dish
  • medium saucepan for lima beans
  • skillet or saucepan for corn
  • Sharp knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (or breadcrumbs)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups frozen lima beans (or fresh)
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or water with bouillon)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for lima beans)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • hot sauce (optional, for lima beans)
  • 4 cups fresh Silver Queen corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp butter (for corn)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for corn)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cayenne pepper flakes (for garnish)
  • fresh tomato slices
  • biscuit (leftover or fresh)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, oats, onion, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Shape mixture into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar, then spread evenly over loaf.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add lima beans, reduce heat, and simmer until tender (20–25 minutes for frozen).
  • Drain most of the liquid, stir in butter, and season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce if desired.
  • In a skillet, combine corn, cream, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened and corn is tender (8–10 minutes).
  • Serve corn with a sprinkle of cayenne flakes for heat.
  • Assemble plates with sliced meatloaf, lima beans, creamy corn, fresh tomato slices, and a biscuit.

Notes

Swap some beef for pork or turkey for a lighter meatloaf. Try BBQ sauce in place of the tomato glaze for smokier flavor. Use butter beans or green beans instead of lima beans, and any sweet corn if Silver Queen isn’t available.
