Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
- 1 egg
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1/2 medium onion (finely diced or grated)
- 1 pound (454 grams) creamer potatoes (halved)
- 2 cups green beans or broccoli florets
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Sauces and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lining a rimmed sheet pan with tin foil and lightly coating with non-stick spray. Set oven temperature to 400F (200C).
- Toss potatoes and green beans (or broccoli) separately in olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
- Combine ground beef with finely chopped onion, ketchup, bread crumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 compact, rectangular mini meatloaves, positioning them on the empty side of the sheet pan.
- Roast the sheet pan meal for 25-30 minutes, ensuring potatoes become golden and crisp while meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 160F (71C).
- During baking, whisk together glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, and cider vinegar.
- Once cooking is complete, generously brush the prepared glaze over the meatloaves before serving hot.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the meatloaf moist without becoming greasy.
- Swap breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers for a celiac-friendly version.
- Consider adding finely grated carrots or zucchini to the meatloaf mixture for extra moisture and hidden vegetables.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness and prevent overcooking, which can make the meatloaf dry.
