Sheet Pan...Meatloaf?! Yep, Sheet Pan Meatloaf!
A little tinkering and we swear, almost any recipe you love can become a sheet pan recipe! In other words, most any recipe you love can be made even easier. Turns out, meatloaf is one of those wonderful recipes that takes really well to the sheet pan dinner treatment! No, you don’t need to cram six tiny mini-loaf pans onto a sheet pan. You’ll free-form the ground beef meatloaf mixture into individual meatloaf ovals and they’ll bake right on the pan along with broccoli and potatoes. Serve with Roasted Asparagus & Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. For another riff on sheet pan meatloaf, check out our easy turkey meatloaf, or mini meatloaves!
Sheet Pan Meatloaf Ingredients
Broccoli, potatoes and meatloaf, all roasting together on one pan—this sheet pan dinner recipe is as easy as it sounds. Here’s everything you’ll need to make this mini meatloaf dinner:
- Meat! Ground chuck, ground pork
- Spices! Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
- Bread crumbs
- Eggs
- Whole milk
- Ketchup
- Brown sugar
- Worcestershire sauce
- Broccoli
- Baby potatoes
- Extra virgin olive oil
3 Reasons This Mini Meatloaf Sheet Pan Recipe Rules
- Because the meatloafs are small, it’s easier to keep them nice and moist!
- Our secret ingredient? Ketchup. Not only is it a source of moisture, ketchup is an ingredient that brings a disproportionate amount of flavorful goodness to meatloaf. We mix it into the ground beef mixture, and use it as a sweet-savory-tangy base for the sauce that tops the meatloaves, too.
- Our second secret ingredient—we can have two, right?—ground pork! Get a little extra richness and flavor into your mini meatloaves by folding some ground pork into the meat mixture. It’s a serious upgrade.
How To Make Sheet Pan Meatloaf and Potatoes
- Pop the Potatoes in the oven!
- Make the meatloaf mixture by combining all of the meatloaf ingredients. Be sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding them. If you have a stand mixer, it’ll make mixing the meatloaf mixture extra easy (and less messy) otherwise, a good old mixing bowl + mixing spoon + elbow grease will do the job!
- Make a sauce for the meatloaf by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and a bit of water.
- Toss broccoli with a little oil and salt and add it to the sheet pan!
- Shape the ground beef mixture into six little mini meatloaves, then nestle them between the broccoli and potatoes on the sheet pan.
- Brush the sauce all over the meatloaves.
- Bake! Check for doneness after 30 minutes by checking the internal temperature of the meatloaves. You’re looking for 165°F on an instant read thermometer.
