Buffalo Meatloaf with Spinach and Roasted Baby Potatoes

This buffalo meatloaf with spinach and roasted baby potatoes is a sophisticated take on a classic comfort food favourite. By using minced buffalo meat, this high-protein dish offers a leaner, more nutrient-dense alternative to traditional beef, with a rich and slightly sweet flavour that pairs beautifully with earthy crimini mushrooms and fresh herbs. The addition of panko breadcrumbs ensures a light texture, while a spiced tomato glaze provides a savoury finish.

Perfect for a nutritious midweek dinner, this all-in-one traybake minimises washing up by roasting the meatloaf alongside seasoned baby potatoes. Served with a generous portion of garlic-wilted spinach, it provides a well-balanced meal that is as satisfying as it is healthy. It is an ideal choice for those looking to increase their protein intake without compromising on traditional, home-cooked flavours.
