A comforting and easy sheet pan dinner featuring tangy BBQ meatloaf and crispy roasted potatoes, perfect for cozy nights and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (e.g., Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss the halved baby red potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on one side of the sheet pan in a single layer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape (about 8×4 inches) on the empty side of the sheet pan next to the potatoes. Pat down gently for even thickness.
  5. Spoon the BBQ sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf, spreading to all edges.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the potatoes are golden and crispy. Flip potatoes halfway through baking for extra crispiness.
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Garnish potatoes with fresh parsley if desired, slice the meatloaf, and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the meatloaf mixture to avoid dense texture. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F. Flip potatoes halfway through baking for extra crispiness. Line pan with parchment paper or silicone mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. For gluten-free, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free panko. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk alternatives. Let meatloaf rest before slicing for juiciness.
