Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix Breadcrumbs, half the Milk, Eggs, Onion, Worcestershire Sauce, half the Salt, and Black Pepper in a bowl.
Step 2. Fold in Ground Beef gently, then shape into a low loaf on a rimmed baking sheet. Mix Ketchup, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Brown Sugar; spread over the loaf.
Step 3. Bake the meatloaf until the center reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer and the glaze is set, about 35 minutes.
Step 4. Meanwhile, cover Potato with cold water in a pot and add the rest of the Salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until a fork slides through, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot off the heat.
Step 5. Meanwhile, boil Green Beans in a saucepan of water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan off the heat.
Step 6. Mash the potatoes with the rest of the Milk and two-thirds of the Butter. Toss the green beans with the rest of the Butter. Cover both to keep warm.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Rest the meatloaf until its juices settle, about 5 minutes, then slice and serve with the mashed potatoes and green beans.
