Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

Step 3: Form Mini Meatloaves

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a small oval loaf. Place them on one side of the prepared sheet pan.

Step 4: Prepare the Vegetables

In a bowl, toss potatoes and green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly around the meatloaves on the sheet pan.

Step 5: Add the Glaze

In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spoon or brush the glaze over the top of each mini meatloaf.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the potatoes are tender and roasted.

Step 7: Serve

Let the mini meatloaves rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with the roasted potatoes and green beans for a complete sheet pan dinner.
