Beef and Sweet Potato meatloaf topped with a Tomato-Maple glaze – a recipe the entire family will enjoy!!
I had some ground beef to use up and I didn’t fancy the usual cottage pie or spaghetti bolognese. It was a while since I made a meatloaf and I love how quick it is to combine the ingredients and then it’s just a case of getting it in the oven, which freed me up to get on with other things while it cooks.
Halfway through cooking the meatloaf I decided a nice glaze/sauce for the top would be amazing, so whipped up a quick tomato sauce which I sweetened with my ever so good friend – maple syrup. Oh my was that a GREAT idea.
If was a real hit with the family and we had cleared plates all round, gotta love it when you put something together that is enjoyed by everyone.

Meatloaf just isn’t meatloaf without some mashed potatoes and this recipe for The Best Ever Syn Free Mashed Potatoes is our favourite.
You can also head on over to the FULL RECIPE INDEX for some more inspiration from 850 Delicious Slimming World and Weight Watchers recipes, which are all fully searchable by meal type, ingredients, syn value and smart points etc.
For this I just used a regular loaf pan, you can get meatloaf pans which have an inner tray with holes to drain off any fat, but as the ground beef used is extra lean, I figured what comes off is just going to be the juice, which is what keeps the meatloaf from drying out. If you let it rest for 10 mins before slicing when you take out of the oven, most of those juices get absorbed back into the meatloaf and adds to the flavour.
I spiralled my sweet potato for the meatloaf using a Vegetable Spiralizer like this:
These types of vegetable spiralizers are the best, as they will spiral a variety of different vegetables, some of the small handheld ones will only spiral stick shaped vegetables like carrots or zucchini (courgette)
If you don’t have a vegetable spiralizer, you can still make this delicious meatloaf, by just grating the sweet potato instead.
How can I add 1/3 speed foods to this Beef and Sweet Potato Meatloaf?
I paired it up with these delicious Garlic Sauteed Shredded Brussels Sprouts. But you could serve it alongside any greens of your choice, such as cabbage, broccoli, green beans etc.

making this for tea tonight so will let you know how it turns out…loving the recipies on here thanks
I’m confused, the instructions for the sauce says use half for a glaze and add the syrup, what do I do with the other half of the sauce. Also what is 2 tsp of paprika meant to be as paprika has already been listed? Thank you in advance
I just made this for the first time tonight, I’ve been meaning to for ages. I really wish I hadnt put it off, it’s so easy to make and absolutely delicious!! It’s going to be a firm favourite in my house, the glaze is just beautiful and the sweet potato just fits perfectly.
