Staples

- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Mince 2 cloves garlic and add to the pan when it shimmers, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 4 ounces fresh spinach in batches, stirring until wilted and any liquid cooks away, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, then transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, arrange the frozen meatloaf slices in a single layer and pour the gravy over them. Cover with a lid or foil, reduce heat to medium, and warm through until steaming, about 8 minutes.

Note Swap the spinach for any hardy green or even a bag of frozen broccoli. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for two days. Serve with rice or egg noodles to soak up the gravy.
