Description
Mini Meatloaf on a Sheet Pan offers a quick and family-friendly dinner solution with individual meatloaves baked alongside baby potatoes and broccoli, all on one sheet pan for minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
Ingredients
For the Meatloaf
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Glaze
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
For the Vegetables
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until just combined, ensuring the meat remains tender.
- Form Mini Loaves: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a mini loaf, roughly the size of a hand, for quick, evenly cooked servings.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Place the mini meatloaves on one side of the prepared sheet pan, leaving space for the vegetables.
- Toss Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss halved baby potatoes and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, coating them evenly for roasting.
- Add Vegetables to Pan: Spread the tossed vegetables around the mini meatloaves on the sheet pan to cook simultaneously.
- Prepare and Apply Glaze: Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard in a small bowl, then spread this glaze evenly over the tops of each mini meatloaf to add flavor and promote caramelization.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160°F (71°C), indicating they are safely cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the mini meatloaves rest for 5 minutes; this allows juices to redistribute for a moist texture before serving.
Notes
- Swap broccoli for green beans or carrots to vary the vegetable component.
- Use ground turkey as a leaner meat option for a healthier twist.
- This recipe is excellent for meal prep and portion control with individual servings.
